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
. In this snapshot by Bob Gibbons, we witness a mesmerizing moment in the wild. A dashing Broad-bordered bee hawkmoth gracefully hovers above a vibrant meadow thistle, its delicate wings fluttering with elegance. With precision and finesse, this enchanting insect indulges in nature's nectar-filled feast. As the sun bathes the scene in golden hues, our winged protagonist becomes a symbol of pollination perfection. Its slender proboscis delicately probes each blossom, extracting sweet sustenance from the heart of every Cirsium dissectum flower it encounters. This is no ordinary meal; it is an exquisite dance between predator and prey – one that ensures both survival and beauty. With Europe as its playground and the United Kingdom as its stage, this magnificent moth showcases Mother Nature's artistry at its finest. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, life continues to thrive harmoniously. So let us raise our glasses (or perhaps more fittingly, our magnifying glasses) to celebrate this extraordinary creature! Cheers to Bob Gibbons for capturing such a magical moment where flight meets feeding frenzy—a true testament to the wonders of wildlife photography. May this image serve as a reminder that within every field or meadow lies an entire universe waiting to be explored—one filled with buzzing insects like these marvelous hawkmoths who bring joy through their graceful presence!
