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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 botanical print showcases the beautiful Evening Primrose (Onagraceae) as illustrated in Elizabeth Twining's "Illustrations of the Natural Orders of Plants with Groups and Descriptions," published in 1868. The Onagraceae tribe, to which the Evening Primrose belongs, is a diverse group of herbaceous plants, characterized by their slender stems, simple leaves, and showy flowers. The Evening Primrose, in particular, is known for its distinctive yellow flowers that bloom in the evening and wilt by morning, giving the plant its common name. The flowers of this plant are not only visually striking but also play an essential role in its pollination strategy, attracting moths and other night-flying insects. This botanical illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of plant classification and identification. Elizabeth Twining, a skilled botanical artist, meticulously captured the intricate details of the Evening Primrose's flowers, leaves, and stems, providing an accurate record of the plant's morphology for scientific study. The publication of Twining's work in the late 19th century marked a significant period in the history of botanical illustration. During this time, advances in scientific research and the development of new techniques in botanical illustration led to a renewed interest in the accurate documentation and classification of plant species. This beautiful print not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill and dedication of Elizabeth Twining but also provides a valuable historical record of the Evening Primrose and the broader world of botanical discovery during the 19th century.
