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 snapshot by Steve Downer, we witness the incredible appetite of a young Comma Butterfly caterpillar as it indulges in a sumptuous feast on a bed of nettles. With an insatiable hunger and an artistic flair for leaf munching, this little larva transforms itself into a living masterpiece. As the vibrant green caterpillar delicately nibbles away at the nettle leaves, it seems to be crafting its own abstract artwork. Each bite reveals intricate patterns resembling commas - nature's punctuation marks adorning its verdant canvas. It is as if this tiny creature has taken up residence in an art studio, using nettles as both sustenance and inspiration. This enchanting scene reminds us that even the smallest creatures can create beauty in unexpected places. As we marvel at the delicate balance between predator and prey, we are reminded of nature's remarkable ability to adapt and survive. So next time you stumble upon a humble nettle patch, take a moment to appreciate these unsung heroes of wildlife photography like Steve Downer who capture such extraordinary moments. And remember, while some may see mere weeds or pests, others recognize them as vital stages in the life cycle of magnificent butterflies – proof that true beauty can emerge from even the prickliest situations!
