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
This exquisite handcolored illustration showcases the ripe fruit and leaves of the Brown Beurre Pear, scientifically known as Pyrus communis. The illustration, created by the skilled botanical artist Edwin Dalton Smith, was meticulously engraved by Watts for the renowned Scottish gardener and author, Charles McIntosh. McIntosh, who lived from 1794 to 1864, was a prominent figure in European aristocracy and royalty circles, known for his extensive knowledge and expertise in horticulture. The Brown Beurre Pear is a variety of the common pear tree, which is native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. The ripe fruit in this illustration is depicted as a rich golden brown color, with a smooth and lustrous surface. The leaves, delicately rendered in green, provide a striking contrast to the deep hues of the fruit. This illustration is taken from McIntosh's comprehensive work, "Flora and Pomona," published in 1829. Botanical illustrations of the time were an essential tool for the scientific community, allowing for the accurate documentation and identification of plant species. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this illustration serve as a testament to the dedication and artistry of both Smith and McIntosh. The 19th century was a golden age for botanical illustration, and this illustration is a prime example of the beauty and precision that could be achieved through the combination of artistic skill and scientific rigor. Today, it remains a valuable historical record of the natural world and a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world.
