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.

Plate 2 from Pomona Britannica (1812): A Feast of Four Varieties of Strawberries, Illustrated in George Brookshaw's Meticulous Drawing The captivating Plate 2 from George Brookshaw's Pomona Britannica (1812), held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, showcases the enchanting world of strawberries through the lens of four distinct varieties. This exquisite illustration, a testament to Brookshaw's artistic prowess, invites us to delve into the rich history and diverse beauty of these beloved edible berries. The plate presents a sumptuous display of strawberries, each with its unique characteristics. The first variety, the Wild Strawberry, boasts a modest size and a delicate white flower. The second, the Alpine Strawberry, is smaller and boasts a more elongated shape and a rosy hue. The third, the Garden Strawberry, is the largest and most commonly known, with its bright red color and luscious, juicy fruit. Lastly, the Pineapple Strawberry, with its distinctive yellow-speckled red fruit, adds an intriguing twist to the familiar strawberry image. As we gaze upon this plate, we are transported back in time to an era when botanical illustrations were a testament to the natural world's wonders. The intricate details of the strawberry flowers, leaves, and stems are rendered with exquisite precision, revealing the plant's place in the grand scheme of the angiosperms, dicots, rosids, and fabids. This magnificent illustration, a treasure in the Natural History Museum's collection, serves not only as a visual feast but also as a reminder of the rich history and diverse beauty of the strawberry, a humble yet cherished fruit that graces our tables during the warm summer months.
