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 breathtaking snapshot captured by wildlife enthusiast Chris Knights, a flock of Cape Petrels, also known as Cape Pigeons, showcase their aerial acrobatics over the vast expanse of the Antarctic sea. With the stunning South Shetland Islands serving as their picturesque backdrop, these charismatic seabirds effortlessly glide through the crisp polar air. As if choreographed by nature itself, these feathered daredevils perform an awe-inspiring ballet in mid-air. Their elegant wings outstretched and feathers ruffled by the ocean breeze, they create a mesmerizing display that leaves us marveling at their grace and agility. The vibrant plumage of these avian adventurers adds splashes of color to an otherwise icy landscape. With hues ranging from snowy white to charcoal gray and flashes of striking orange on their beaks and feet, they bring life to this frozen realm. These social creatures thrive in groups called flocks or colonies. Together they navigate the treacherous waters with ease while hunting for fish and krill – their preferred delicacies. It's truly remarkable how seamlessly they blend into this harsh environment while maintaining such elegance. So let your imagination take flight alongside these captivating Cape Petrels as they embark on another daring escapade across Antarctica's pristine seascape. Join them on this exhilarating journey where sky meets water and freedom knows no bounds!
