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
Talk about a feast fit for a hyena! This hilarious print captures the wild antics of a spotted hyena as it indulges in an unconventional dining experience - feeding from inside a hippo carcass! With its head buried deep within the muddy remains, this hungry hyena proves that when it comes to satisfying its appetite, nothing is off-limits. Crocuta crocuta, also known as the spotted hyena, is renowned for its scavenging skills and ability to devour even the toughest of prey. In this remarkable snapshot taken in Maasai Mara National Park in Kenya, East Africa, we witness nature's ultimate clean-up crew at work. The sheer audacity and determination displayed by this fearless mammal are truly awe-inspiring. As it navigates through the rotting flesh and tangled bones of the deceased hippopotamus, our spotted friend seems completely unfazed by the messiness of its meal. Mud-covered from head to toe, it proudly wears its 'dinner jacket' with pride! This image serves as a reminder of nature's fascinating circle of life and death. It showcases not only the incredible adaptability and resourcefulness of these African predators but also their crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. So next time you're feeling adventurous with your culinary choices or simply want to appreciate Mother Nature's quirkiest creations, let this whimsical print transport you into the wild world where even hippos become dinner tables!
