23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite sketch, titled Sketch 45, is a captivating representation of Salix alba L., commonly known as the White Willow, created by the renowned 18th century botanical artist, Georg Dionysius Ehret. The illustration is part of a larger collection of original drawings and sketches held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. Ehret's masterful depiction of the White Willow showcases the tree in all its glory, with intricate details of its leaves, branches, and buds. The tree is depicted in its natural habitat, surrounded by a lush, green environment, further emphasizing its beauty and place in nature. The White Willow is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant, and belongs to the dicotyledon division, characterized by the presence of two seed leaves. It is a eudicot, a subgroup of dicots, and a member of the Magnoliophyta division, which includes all flowering plants. The White Willow is also a member of the Salicaceae family, specifically the Salix genus, and is commonly identified by its slender, willow-like branches and its white, smooth bark. Ehret's illustration of the White Willow is a testament to the artist's exceptional talent and the importance of botanical illustration in documenting and preserving the natural world. His work continues to inspire and captivate audiences, providing a glimpse into the natural history of the past and the beauty of the plant kingdom.
