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
Who knew that beneath the surface lies a secret world of bizarre creatures? Introducing the Cockchafer Larva - nature's very own underground superhero! This print captures the fascinating life of Melolontha melolontha, also known as cockchafers, in their larval stage. With its plump and wrinkly body, this little critter might not win any beauty contests, but it sure knows how to make an impression. Just look at those determined eyes and tiny legs ready to conquer the soil! Feasting on roots like a gourmet meal, these grubs are true garden connoisseurs. They may be considered pests by some, but let's give credit where credit is due - they're just trying to survive in this wild world. Intriguingly ugly yet undeniably captivating, this cockchafer larva reminds us that there is beauty even in the most unexpected places. Its presence serves as a reminder that our gardens are teeming with hidden wonders waiting to be discovered. So next time you're tending to your plants or digging up some dirt, take a moment to appreciate these unsung heroes of the underground. After all, without them diligently recycling organic matter and aerating the soil, our gardens wouldn't thrive quite as beautifully. Let this print transport you into the mysterious realm of insects and remind you that sometimes it's what's below ground level that truly matters.
