23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame

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
. In this shot captured by Bill Coster, we witness the glamorous world of avian self-care. Meet our star, COS-1211, an American Oystercatcher with a flair for wing-flapping after a refreshing wash at Fort de Soto in Florida. With feathers glistening and water droplets dancing around it, this elegant bird showcases its impeccable grooming skills. The oystercatcher seems to be indulging in some serious pampering as it splashes about in the crystal-clear waters of the USA's sunshine state. As if auditioning for America's Next Top Bird Model, our feathered friend strikes a pose mid-flap. Its wings create a mesmerizing spectacle against the backdrop of shimmering waves. It’s hard not to envy this bird's ability to turn even mundane activities like cleaning into an enchanting performance! The image captures both grace and playfulness as our oystercatcher revels in its watery sanctuary. With each flap and splash, it reminds us that life is too short not to enjoy every moment – even during bath time! So next time you find yourself feeling stressed or overwhelmed, take inspiration from COS-1211 and embrace your inner birdie; let loose, have fun and make a splash!
