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 incredible snapshot captured by Alan Weaving, we witness the industrious nature of the Brant's Whistling Rat in action. With a determined look on its face, this little rodent is on a mission to create the perfect burrow for itself and its colony. Armed with sticks almost as big as itself, our furry friend showcases impressive strength and resourcefulness. Who needs construction workers when you have these skilled architects? This rat knows that a sturdy home requires proper materials! But it's not all work and no play for our whistling rat. As it gathers vegetation to build its nest, it can't resist taking quick snack breaks along the way. Munching on succulent leaves, seeds, and even flowers adds some tasty variety to its diet. Living in colonies certainly has its perks! These social creatures enjoy each other's company while residing in arid sandy environments like those found in South Africa's Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Talk about having great neighbors! So next time you're feeling overwhelmed by your own DIY projects or just need some inspiration, take a moment to appreciate the ingenuity of animals like Brant's Whistling Rat. They remind us that hard work can be fun too – especially when there are delicious snacks involved!
