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.

Caught in the Act - The Mischievous Invader!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Bob Gibbons, we witness the notorious Common Salvinia, a floating water fern, flaunting its invasive nature. Originally from South America, this troublemaker has made its way to North America and caused quite a stir! With its luscious green fronds delicately resting on the water's surface, it's hard not to be mesmerized by the beauty of this exotic plant. But don't let its innocent appearance fool you! This pteridophyte is known for wreaking havoc in wetlands across the United States. Like an uninvited guest crashing a party, these masses of Salvinia have taken over our waters with their relentless growth. They may look harmless from above but beneath that serene facade lies an ecological nightmare. But hey, let's give credit where credit is due - talk about determination! These feisty ferns have managed to establish themselves as one of North America's most infamous introduced species. It's like they've built their own tropical paradise right here in our backyards! So next time you spot these aquatic troublemakers floating around your local pond or lake, take a moment to appreciate their audacity while also recognizing the importance of protecting our native ecosystems from such invaders. And thanks to Bob Gibbons' stunning photography skills, we can now marvel at both their beauty and mischievousness captured forever on paper!
