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 sketch, numbered 180 in the Ehret Collection of Sketches, showcases the captivating beauty of Zinnia peruviana, commonly known as the Peruvian zinnia. Dated back to the 18th century, this illustration was meticulously created by the renowned German botanical artist, Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770). The sketch is currently housed in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. The Peruvian zinnia, a member of the Asteraceae or Compositae family, is a flowering plant native to South America. This eudicot, angiosperm, and magnoliophyte is characterized by its distinctive red blooms, arranged in a composite inflorescence. The plant belongs to the asterales order, asterid clade, and the family Asteraceae. Ehret's sketch masterfully captures the intricate details of the Peruvian zinnia's flower, revealing its complex structure. The petals are elegantly depicted, each with a slight curl and a distinct veining pattern. The central disc flowers, encircled by the ray flowers, are also shown in impressive detail. The delicate filaments and anthers, as well as the intricately designed stigma, are all present in this remarkable drawing. The Peruvian zinnia's vibrant red color and unique flower structure have made it a favorite among botanical artists and collectors throughout history. Ehret's sketch serves as an invaluable record of this beautiful plant, providing us with a glimpse into the natural world as it was understood during the 18th century. The Ehret Collection of Sketches, with its wealth of botanical treasures, continues to be an essential resource for researchers, historians, and anyone with an appreciation for the natural world.
