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 botanical print, titled "Pollard Aspen (Plate 2)" is an 18th-century illustration from "The Shape, Skeleton and Foliage of Thirty Two Species of Trees" by Alexander Cozens. The series was first published in 1771, with this particular plate being updated and reissued in 1786. The image showcases a Pollard Aspen tree, a type of Poplar tree belonging to the Salicaceae family, which is part of the larger group of flowering plants known as Angiosperms, Dicotyledons, or Eudicots. This tree is also classified under the order Malpighiales, the subclass Rosids, and the family Fabaceae. The Pollard Aspen depicted in this print is a pollard tree, meaning it has been deliberately managed through coppicing, a traditional method of tree cultivation where the tree is repeatedly cut back to stimulate new growth. This technique was commonly used in the past for various purposes, including fuel, timber, and livestock fodder. Cozens' meticulous illustration highlights the tree's intricate details, from its branching structure to the shape and arrangement of its leaves. The artist's skillful use of shading and attention to detail bring the tree to life, providing an accurate representation of its form and structure. This historic botanical print not only showcases the beauty of the Pollard Aspen but also offers a glimpse into the natural history and horticultural practices of the 18th century.
