17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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.

Caught in a Sticky Situation - The Great Sundew's Unlikely Lunch Spot!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Bob Gibbons, we witness an extraordinary encounter between two fascinating creatures. A Common Blue Damselfly finds itself entangled on the delicate leaf of a Great Sundew (Drosera anglica) in Dorset, UK. Talk about being caught red-handed! As an insectivorous plant, the Great Sundew relies on its sticky secretions to attract and trap unsuspecting insects for nourishment. And it seems our little damselfly friend couldn't resist the allure of this carnivorous temptation! With its vibrant blue wings contrasting against the vivid green backdrop, it becomes a mesmerizing sight. The intricate details captured in this image showcase nature's incredible diversity and survival strategies. From the glistening droplets on each tentacle-like leaf hair to the damselfly's perplexed expression – every element tells a story of adaptation and ingenuity. This snapshot from Dorset reminds us that even in seemingly ordinary places like our own backyards, remarkable encounters with wildlife await us at every turn. So next time you stumble upon an enchanting scene like this one, take a moment to appreciate the wonders that unfold right under our noses. Bob Gibbons' skillful photography transports us into a miniature world where plants become predators and insects find themselves unwitting prey. It serves as both entertainment and education while reminding us never to underestimate Mother Nature's creativity!
