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 exquisite illustration depicts the Prunus armeniaca, commonly known as the apricot tree, as rendered in George Brookshaw's Full Instructions for the Young Artist, published in 1817. The apricot tree is a member of the Rosaceae family, which also includes apples, pears, cherries, and peaches. This particular species is native to the regions surrounding the Caspian Sea and has been cultivated for its delicious, orange-hued fruit since ancient times. The apricot tree is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. As a dicot, it belongs to the Eudicot clade, which is characterized by the presence of two seed leaves, or cotyledons, when the seed germinates. The tree is also a member of the Rosales order, which includes a diverse range of plants such as roses, strawberries, and almonds. The apricot tree is a small, deciduous tree that typically grows to be around 10-15 feet tall. It is characterized by its attractive, pinkish-white flowers, which bloom in early spring before the leaves emerge. The fruit, which is typically harvested in late summer, is round or oval in shape and has a velvety, orange-red skin. The flesh is juicy, sweet, and slightly tart, making it a popular and nutritious food source. This illustration provides a detailed and accurate representation of the apricot tree, capturing the intricacies of its leaves, flowers, and fruit. The attention to detail and artistic skill displayed by George Brookshaw highlights the beauty and importance of the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the rich botanical heritage that continues to inspire and inform our understanding of the plant kingdom today.
