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 stunning watercolor print by Francesco Peyrolery showcases the beauty of the Snake Gourd, a member of the Cucurbitaceae family and native to tropical Asia. Painted in 1765, this botanical illustration captures the intricate details of this herbaceous climbing plant with precision and artistry. Against a clean white background, the vibrant green leaves and winding stem of the Snake Gourd come to life. The delicate tendrils reach outwards, showcasing its natural ability to climb and thrive in its environment. Peyrolery's meticulous brushstrokes bring depth and texture to each leaf, creating a lifelike representation that is both scientifically accurate and visually captivating. This watercolor painting is part of an Herbal collection from the 18th-19th century called Iconographia Taurinensis. Volume XIV, Table 96. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with botany throughout history, preserving knowledge about various plants for future generations. The absence of people in this artwork allows us to focus solely on nature's wonders. The vertical composition emphasizes the height at which these gourds can grow while highlighting their unique shape and form. Francesco Peyrolery's artistic talent combined with his scientific understanding creates an exquisite piece that celebrates both artistry and biology. This print is not only aesthetically pleasing but also serves as an educational tool for those interested in botany or simply appreciating nature's diversity.
