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.

Sun's out, tail's up! This clever Cape Ground Squirrel knows how to beat the heat in style. With her erected tail serving as a sunshade, she's got temperature control down to a science. Talk about intelligence and fashion sense all rolled into one adorable package! Caught in the stunning Kalahari Desert of South Africa's Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, this single female is stealing hearts with her cute and quirky stance. Standing tall on her hind legs, she strikes a pose that screams 'I'm ready for my close-up!' And who can blame her? With those big eyes and fluffy fur, she's picture-perfect. But let's not forget the main event – feeding time! This ground squirrel has got priorities straight. While other mammals scurry around looking for food, our star here takes a moment to enjoy a delicious meal amidst the desert backdrop. Who knew dining could be so photogenic? So whether you're captivated by her cuteness or impressed by her survival skills, this print by Thomas Dressler captures it all. It reminds us that even in harsh environments like deserts, there are moments of pure joy and laughter waiting to be discovered.
