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
Quercus suber, commonly known as the Cork Oak, is depicted in this stunning watercolor illustration from Volume 16 of "Le Regne Vegetal," published in 1871. The artist meticulously captured the intricacies of this magnificent tree, a member of the Fagaceae family and the genus Quercus. At the heart of this illustration lies the tree's distinctive bark, which is the source of commercial cork. The outer bark is shed periodically, allowing new layers to form beneath, making the tree an invaluable resource for the production of cork stoppers and other cork products. The tree's leaves, arranged alternately on the stem, are simple, oblong, and serrated, characteristic of the Quercus genus. The tree's flowers, small and unassuming, are shown in the foreground, with both male and female flowers present. The male flowers are arranged in catkins, while the female flowers are solitary and have a distinctive, cup-shaped structure. The Cork Oak is a deciduous tree native to the western Mediterranean region, specifically in Portugal, Spain, and North Africa. It is an eudicot, angiosperm, and a member of the Rosid clade. The tree's seeds, enclosed in acorns, are not shown in this illustration but are an essential part of its life cycle. This beautiful watercolor painting, created by an unknown artist, offers a glimpse into the natural beauty and complexity of the Cork Oak tree. Its intricate details and vibrant colors serve as a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time. The Cork Oak remains an important tree not only for its commercial value but also for the ecosystems it supports and the beauty it brings to the landscape.
