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.

CAN-2303 - The Couch Spadefoot - Master of Underground Living!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by John Cancalosi, we witness the incredible burrowing skills of the Couch Spadefoot in action. With their unique technique of backing into the ground while pushing dirt with their spades and rotating their bodies, these amphibian acrobats create cozy self-made burrows or seek refuge in those belonging to gophers-squirrels or kangaroo rats during dry periods. This versatile creature knows no boundaries when it comes to habitat selection, thriving in various environments such as shortgrass prairies, mesquite savannas, creosote bush deserts, thorn forests, tropical deciduous forests, and other areas with low rainfall. Talk about adaptability! But that's not all; the Couch Spadefoot also possesses a vocal talent that would make even sheep envious! Its anxious bleat-like call can be heard for great distances and serves as a melodious invitation to bring together potential mates during breeding seasons from May to September. So next time you stumble upon this extraordinary amphibian artist at work underground or hear its enchanting serenade echoing through nature's corridors, take a moment to appreciate the wonders of wildlife. And remember - there's always more than meets the eye beneath our feet!
