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 handcolored stipple engraving showcases the Raisin de Calmes grape, scientifically known as Vitis vinifera, in all its splendor. The illustration is taken from George Brookshaw's renowned Pomona Britannica, published in London by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown in 1817. Known for his exceptional botanical illustrations, Brookshaw meticulously captured the intricate details of this grape variety, highlighting its distinctive features. The Raisin de Calmes grape is a black grape variety that was once widely cultivated in the southwestern region of France, particularly in the Languedoc area. The grapes were traditionally used to produce raisins, which were highly prized for their sweet and luscious flavor. The grape's thick, wrinkled skin protected the fruit from the sun, allowing it to naturally dehydrate and develop its rich, complex taste. The engraving reveals the grape's elongated, oval-shaped berries, each one adorned with a golden-brown, wrinkled surface. The vine, with its twisting tendrils and large, lobed leaves, is also depicted in the illustration, adding to the overall beauty and intrigue of the composition. This botanical masterpiece not only serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of George Brookshaw but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of grape cultivation and winemaking in Europe. The Raisin de Calmes grape may no longer be widely cultivated today, but its legacy lives on through illustrations like this one, which continue to inspire and captivate viewers with their stunning detail and historical significance.
