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 print by Bob Gibbons, we are transported to the cactus-rich part of Baja California, where the largest cactus in the world stands proudly. The Cardon cactus, a true xerophyte champion, thrives in this hot and dry landscape with its remarkable drought-tolerant abilities. As we gaze at this stunning image, we can almost feel the heat radiating from the sun-baked sand. The endemic beauty of these towering giants reminds us of their resilience and adaptability to survive in such harsh conditions. With their arms reaching for the sky like nature's own skyscrapers, these magnificent cardons dominate Central American landscapes. They stand as living testaments to Mother Nature's creativity and ability to thrive even in seemingly inhospitable environments. Bob Gibbons' photograph captures not only a single moment frozen in time but also tells a story of survival against all odds. It serves as a reminder that amidst barren deserts lies an awe-inspiring beauty waiting to be discovered. So let your imagination wander through this enchanting scene - picture yourself standing beside these colossal cardons, feeling dwarfed by their grandeur while being humbled by their tenacity. This is nature at its finest – wild, untamed, and utterly breathtaking!
