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 exquisitely hand-colored botanical engraving is a beautiful representation of Turnip and Rocket Cabbage, or Dog Mustard, as it was known during the late 18th century. The image is taken from Joshua Hamilton's Culpeper's English Family Physician; or Medical Herbal, published in London in 1792. The work was an enlarged edition of the original herbal by the famous English herbalist, Nicholas Culpeper, with several hundred additional plants added from Sir John Hill. The Turnip and Rocket Cabbage, also known as Brassica juncea, is a cruciferous vegetable that belongs to the mustard family. The plant is depicted in various stages of growth, from the small, simple flowers at the top to the large, round turnips growing beneath the ground. The rocket cabbage, or rucola, is also shown in the image, with its distinctive rosette of pinnate leaves and small, white flowers. Botanical illustrations like this one were an essential tool for herbalists and physicians during the 18th and 19th centuries. They provided accurate records of plant specimens and helped identify medicinal plants for use in herbal remedies. The intricate copperplate engraving technique used in this print allowed for exceptional detail and clarity, making it an invaluable resource for those studying the natural world. The Turnip and Rocket Cabbage was believed to have various medicinal properties during this time. The turnips were used to treat swellings, while the rocket cabbage was believed to have cooling and healing properties. The plant was also used as a condiment and was believed to aid digestion. This stunning hand-colored botanical engraving is a testament to the rich history of herbal medicine and the importance of accurate botanical records. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a deeper understanding of the natural world and the knowledge that shaped the medical practices of the past.
