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.

Feathered Family - A Lesson in Unconventional Parenting!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Johan De Meester, we witness a truly extraordinary moment of nature's deception and nurturing. Meet the ME-949 duo – a cunning Cuckoo chick being fed by its unsuspecting foster parent, the Dunnock. As the saying goes, "birds of a feather flock together" but these two take it to a whole new level! The adult Cuckoo cleverly lays her eggs in other birds' nests, leaving them to be raised by unwitting surrogate parents like our diligent Dunnock. Talk about sneaky parenting tactics! But don't let their mixed-species family dynamic fool you; there's no shortage of love here. With wide-open beaks and eager eyes, the fluffy Cuckoo chick eagerly awaits its next meal while its devoted Dunnock mother tirelessly provides nourishment. This heartwarming scene reminds us that families come in all shapes and sizes – even within the animal kingdom! It's an incredible example of how different species can coexist harmoniously and care for one another despite their differences. So next time you feel overwhelmed with your own family dynamics or find yourself craving some unconventional inspiration, just remember this remarkable photograph captured by Johan De Meester. Let it serve as a gentle reminder that love knows no boundaries – whether you're covered in feathers or not!
