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 handcolored botanical copperplate engraving depicts the Shrub Cinquefoil, Potentilla fruticosa, a versatile plant native to Europe, Asia, and North America. The engraving is taken from Joshua Hamilton's Culpeper's English Family Physician; or Medical Herbal, first published in 1792. Culpeper's herbal was an expanded version of the original work by the famous English herbalist and astrologer, Nicholas Culpeper, and included several hundred additional plants. The Shrub Cinquefoil is identified by its five-petaled yellow or pink flowers, which bloom in clusters, and its reddish-brown stems. The plant's leaves are simple, obovate, and serrated, with a palmate venation. The Shrub Cinquefoil was highly regarded in traditional medicine for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. It was used to treat various ailments, including diarrhea, dysentery, and wounds. The intricate details of the Shrub Cinquefoil's anatomy are beautifully rendered in this engraving, with each petal, vein, and leaf meticulously captured. The use of handcoloring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning addition to any botanical collection. This historical botanical engraving not only showcases the aesthetic appeal of the Shrub Cinquefoil but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of herbal medicine and botanical illustration. The meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality production techniques used in creating this engraving are a testament to the importance placed on the study of natural history during the 18th century.
