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 stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the Purging Cassia, or Golden Shower Tree, Cassia fistula, a beautiful and significant plant in the botanical world. The image is based on a botanical illustration by David Blair, as featured in Robert Bentley and Henry Trimen's "Medicinal Plants," published in London in 1880. The intricate details of the tree's leaves, flowers, and pods are expertly captured in this exquisite work of art. The Purging Cassia, native to India and Sri Lanka, is renowned for its medicinal properties. The tree's bark and roots have been used in traditional Ayurvedic and Unani medicine for centuries to treat various ailments, including dysentery, constipation, and skin diseases. The tree's name derives from its purgative effects, which are attributed to the presence of anthraquinone glycosides. The tree's vibrant yellow flowers, which resemble golden showers, bloom in clusters and attract a diverse range of pollinators, making it an essential source of nectar for bees and other insects. The tree's pods, which contain small seeds, are also an important food source for various birds and mammals. This beautiful and intricately detailed lithograph not only showcases the aesthetic appeal of the Purging Cassia but also highlights its significance in the fields of botany, medicine, and ecology. It is a testament to the artistry and scientific inquiry of the past and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying the natural world.
