23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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.

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 lithograph showcases the enchanting beauty of the Tree Gloxinia, Smithiantha amabilis, also known by its alternative names Naegelia amabilis, Achimenes amabilis, or Kohleria amabilis. The image is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," produced by the renowned Belgian botanists Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in 1857. The Tree Gloxinia is a captivating epiphyte, native to the tropical regions of Central and South America. Its elegant, slender stems can reach up to 30 centimeters in height, adorned with heart-shaped, velvety leaves that radiate a glossy sheen. The plant's most striking feature, however, is its stunning, tubular flowers. These blossoms come in various shades of pink, red, and white, with intricate veining and a distinctive, sweet fragrance. The Tree Gloxinia was a popular ornamental plant during the Victorian era, and its inclusion in esteemed botanical publications like "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" further solidified its status as a coveted addition to European greenhouses and gardens. The meticulous attention to detail in this hand-colored lithograph serves as a testament to the botanical illustrators' dedication to accurately capturing the essence and allure of this remarkable plant. The delicate interplay of color, form, and texture in the Tree Gloxinia's flowers is on full display in this stunning botanical illustration. The intricate veining and subtle shading bring the petals to life, while the vibrant hues evoke a sense of wonder and enchantment. This image not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also as a valuable record of the botanical discoveries and advancements of the 19th century.
