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.

Arctic Terns - The Fierce Protectors of their Breeding Grounds!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, we witness the extraordinary sight of Arctic Terns in action during their breeding season. These feisty birds are not to be underestimated as they fearlessly defend their territory from unsuspecting tourists. With wings spread wide and determination in their eyes, these avian warriors show us that even the tiniest creatures can pack a mighty punch! Hovering effortlessly in mid-air, an Arctic Tern swoops down on a group of curious visitors who have unwittingly ventured too close to its nesting area. Its sharp beak and piercing gaze leave no doubt about its intentions – protecting its precious offspring is paramount! The single tourist caught in the crosshairs appears both startled and amazed by this unexpected encounter. This snapshot perfectly captures the raw power and aggression behind these protective parents' actions. It reminds us that wildlife is not just beautiful but also fiercely dedicated to ensuring the survival of future generations. So next time you find yourself exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Europe's United Kingdom, keep an eye out for these remarkable Arctic Terns. But remember, respect their boundaries during breeding season or prepare for some airborne antics!
