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 close-up, wildlife photographer Steve Hopkin introduces us to the bizarre and slightly chubby world of cockchafer larvae. Hailing from the United Kingdom, these young grubs may not win any beauty contests, but they sure know how to make an impression! With their fat bodies and peculiarly shaped heads, these rook worms are a sight to behold. Their unique appearance can only be described as a cross between a beetle and a cockroach – talk about an unexpected combination! But don't let their looks fool you; these pests play an essential role in our gardens. While some might find them ugly or even repulsive, there's no denying that they have character. Just look at those expressive faces! These European critters are masters of survival and adaptability. So next time you stumble upon one of these fascinating creatures while gardening in the UK, take a moment to appreciate their quirky charm up close. Who knows? You might just discover that beneath that "ugly" exterior lies something truly beautiful – nature's way of reminding us that appearances aren't everything!
