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.

Daddy Ostrich - The Ultimate Wingman!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this heartwarming snapshot captured by Alan Weaving, we witness a rare and adorable sight in the animal kingdom - a male Common Ostrich taking on the role of super dad! This dapper fellow is seen expertly shading his precious chicks from the scorching African sun in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Known for their flightless nature and impressive size, ostriches are not only fascinating creatures but also devoted parents. Contrary to popular belief, it's actually the males who take charge of childcare duties in these feathered families. Talk about breaking stereotypes! With his long legs and outstretched wings providing ample shade, this protective papa ensures that his little ones stay cool and comfortable during their adventure-filled days. It's a true testament to the power of paternal love and dedication. As they explore sub-Saharan Africa together (except for rainforests), this ostrich clan showcases unity at its finest. From playful baby steps to important life lessons taught by their wise father, every moment shared between them is an opportunity for growth and bonding. So next time you're feeling overwhelmed by parenting responsibilities, just remember our friend here – he's got it all under control! Let this charming image serve as a reminder that even in the wild world of wildlife, fathers play an essential role in raising happy and healthy offspring.
