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 18th century botanical and zoological drawing, titled Drawing 11 (Ewan 38), showcases the intricate details of three distinct natural wonders: Sabatia bartramii, Sabatia imperialis, and Eacles imperialis. The drawing, created by the renowned American naturalist and artist, William Bartram, is held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. At the heart of the illustration lies Sabatia bartramii, a beautiful flowering plant from the Gentianaceae family, commonly known as the savannah pink. Its delicate, pink blossoms are depicted in full bloom, with each petal revealing a subtle, intricate pattern. The plant is shown growing in its natural habitat, surrounded by lush foliage and vibrant, green leaves. Adorning the same drawing is the majestic Eacles imperialis, also known as the imperial moth. This impressive arthropod, belonging to the order Lepidoptera and the family Saturniidae, is depicted in its striking adult form. Its wings, adorned with intricate patterns and hues of gold, black, and red, are spread wide, revealing the true beauty and grandeur of this remarkable creature. The third subject of this drawing is the Sabatia imperialis, a flowering plant from the same family as Sabatia bartramii. Its large, white blossoms are shown in close proximity to the imperial moth, hinting at the intricate relationship between these two species. This exquisite drawing, created in the late 18th century, is a testament to William Bartram's exceptional talent and dedication to documenting the natural world. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these three wonders to life, offering us a glimpse into the rich biodiversity that existed long before our time. The drawing also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world, as we continue to explore and learn from the intricate connections between various plant and animal species.
