17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured stipple engraving showcases the stunning beauty of Malachodendron pentagynum, also known as Stewartia or Stuartia pentagyna. The intricate detail in this artwork, created by the skilled hand of Pierre-Joseph Redoute, brings out the unique characteristics of this tree's elegant form and distinctive foliage. Malachodendron pentagynum is a rare and exotic tree native to the eastern United States, specifically in the Appalachian Mountains. Its name derives from the Greek words "malakos," meaning soft, and "dendron," meaning tree. The specific epithet "pentagynum" refers to the five-angled shape of its leaves. Redoute's illustration captures the tree's graceful branches, adorned with large, five-lobed leaves that are arranged in an alternating pattern. The tree's bark is smooth and gray, and its flowers are white, bell-shaped, and borne in clusters. The tree's small, red fruits are also depicted in the illustration, adding to its overall charm. This engraving is taken from Henri Louis Duhamel du Monceau's Traite des Arbres et Arbustes, published in Paris between 1804 and 1819. The work is considered a seminal contribution to botanical illustration, and Redoute's meticulous drawings and engravings remain a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world. The use of stipple engraving technique adds depth and texture to the illustration, making the tree's intricate details stand out. The hand-colouring further enhances the artwork, bringing out the vibrant hues and subtle shading that make this tree a true masterpiece.
