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-colored botanical engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Mangrove Spider-lily, Hymenocallis latifolia, also known as the Expanded-flowered Pancratium, Pancratium expansum. Originating from the mangrove swamps of Central and South America, including Mexico, this plant is a true marvel of the natural world. The Mangrove Spider-lily is renowned for its unique and captivating appearance. Its large, white, funnel-shaped flowers resemble the legs of a spider, giving rise to its common name. Each flower is adorned with delicate, purple veins and a distinct, sweet fragrance. The plant's leaves are long and narrow, with a vibrant green color and ribbed texture. This stunning illustration was created by the skilled hands of the botanical artists and engravers at John S. Curtis' Botanical Magazine in London, published in 1817. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate veining on the leaves and the delicate shading on the petals. The use of hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Mangrove Spider-lily to life. The Mangrove Spider-lily is not only a visual delight but also plays an essential role in its ecosystem. It is a key species in mangrove forests, providing food and shelter for various organisms. Its large, fragrant flowers attract pollinators, contributing to the overall health and diversity of these vital habitats. This botanical engraving is not only a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world but also a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting the delicate balance of ecosystems like the mangrove forests that support such unique and captivating species as the Mangrove Spider-lily.
