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.

1. Title: A Feast of Raspberry Varieties: A Handcolored Stipple Engraving from George Brookshaw's Pomona Britannica (1817) This exquisite handcolored stipple engraving, taken from George Brookshaw's Pomona Britannica published in London by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown in 1817, showcases a delightful array of raspberry varieties. The illustration, meticulously crafted by George Brookshaw himself, captures the essence of each fruit's unique character, inviting us to explore the rich diversity of raspberries during the early 19th century. The engraving introduces us to several raspberry varieties, including the Red Antwerp and White Antwerp. The Red Antwerp, with its deep red color and luscious appearance, stands out among the other fruits, while the White Antwerp, with its pale, almost translucent hue, presents a striking contrast. The Common Raspberry, the most widely cultivated variety today, is also depicted, showcasing its characteristic red color and prickly exterior. The intricate stipple engraving technique used in this illustration adds depth and texture to the image, making each raspberry appear lifelike and inviting. The delicate handcoloring further enhances the visual appeal, adding vibrancy and depth to the engraving. This illustration not only serves as a testament to the botanical knowledge and artistic prowess of George Brookshaw but also offers a glimpse into the historical context of fruit cultivation during the early 19th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the beauty of the raspberry varieties depicted make this engraving a must-have for any botanical art or fruit enthusiast's collection.
