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.

Charles McIntosh (1794-1864), a Scottish gardener, was a prominent figure in European aristocratic and royal gardens during the 19th century. His extensive knowledge and expertise in horticulture led him to author numerous books on gardening and botany.

Edwin Dalton Smith was a skilled botanical artist who worked with notable figures such as Robert Sweet and Benjamin Maund. His intricate and lifelike drawings were highly regarded for their precision and beauty. In this illustration, Smith masterfully captured the bold scarlet hue and intricate details of the trumpet-flower's petals, as well as the delicate texture of its foliage. The engraving by F.W. Smith further enhances the illustration's detail and clarity, allowing for a closer examination of the plant's unique features.
