17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 18th century drawing, titled "Warratta," depicts the stunning Telopea speciosissima, commonly known as the waratah, a native Australian flowering plant belonging to the Proteaceae family. The illustration is part of the Watling Collection, created by an unidentified Port Jackson Painter between 1788 and 1797. The waratah is a prominent and iconic plant in Australian flora, characterized by its large, vibrant red bracts that encircle the yellow-green flowers. The Telopea speciosissima is an angiosperm, a type of flowering plant that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. It is a eudicot, meaning it has two embryonic seed leaves, and is further classified as an eudicotyledon and a magnoliophyta. The waratah is a member of the Proteales order, which includes a diverse range of plants with protective structures, such as the cotton and peanut. This illustration provides a valuable record of the waratah during the early European exploration of Australia. The intricate details of the plant's structure, including the veining on the leaves and the arrangement of the flowers, are expertly captured, showcasing the skill and artistry of the Port Jackson Painter. The waratah is a cherished symbol of Australia, and this historic drawing continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and significance in the natural history of the continent.
