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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness the enchanting dance between a vibrant Gilded Flicker and a majestic Giant Saguaro. With its golden plumage shimmering in the sunlight, the flicker delicately hovers above the flower of Carnegiea gigantea, seeking nature's sweetest treasure - nectar! As if on a mission to satisfy its insatiable craving for sweetness, this feathered explorer fearlessly plunges its slender beak into the heart of the blossom. The symbiotic relationship between bird and cactus unfolds before our eyes; while the flicker indulges in nourishment, it unknowingly becomes an essential pollinator for these magnificent desert giants. This single frame captures a moment that epitomizes North America's rich wildlife heritage. It reminds us of how interconnected every living being is within our national parks. From coast to coast, these protected havens serve as sanctuaries where nature thrives undisturbed. So let us cherish this image not just as an exquisite work of art but also as a reminder of our responsibility to preserve and protect such delicate ecosystems. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, may it inspire us all to appreciate both the beauty and importance of every creature that graces our planet – from soaring birds like Colaptes chrysoides to towering saguaros standing tall against time itself!
