Jaeger Jaegers Skua Skuas Spitzbergen Svalbard Sea Birds
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
Zooming through the Arctic skies, this feisty Arctic Skua is a true master of flight! With its sleek wings spread wide and determination in its eyes, it effortlessly glides above the breathtaking landscape of Spitzbergen. This print by Michael Putland captures the sheer elegance and power of this remarkable sea bird. Known as the 'jaeger' or 'skuas', these skilled hunters rule the polar seas with their agile maneuvers. Their sharp beaks and keen eyesight make them formidable predators, always on the lookout for an opportunity to snatch a tasty meal from other birds. In this shot, we witness a solitary skua soaring high above Svalbard's icy waters. Its pristine white feathers contrast beautifully against the deep blue backdrop, creating a striking visual spectacle that showcases nature's artistry. As we admire this stunning image, let us not forget how important it is to protect our fragile ecosystems. The Arctic Skua relies on clean oceans and abundant fish populations to survive. By cherishing our wildlife and preserving their habitats, we can ensure that future generations will continue to marvel at such awe-inspiring scenes.
