Brandt Carcasses Cormorant Mass Phalacrocorax Lack Penicillatus
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 Feast or Fowl Play? Brandt's Cormorant - Carcasses during mass die off from lack of food!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a bizarre scene straight out of an avian thriller. The unfortunate victims are none other than the majestic Brandt's Cormorants, who find themselves in the midst of a mysterious and puzzling predicament. As our feathered friends lie strewn across the rocky shore, it becomes clear that something fishy is going on – quite literally! These poor cormorants have fallen victim to a mass die-off due to their dwindling food supply. With empty stomachs and no sustenance in sight, they've met their untimely demise. But fear not; this isn't some sinister plot orchestrated by a nefarious bird villain. Instead, it serves as a stark reminder of the delicate balance within our natural world. As Phalacrocorax penicillatus struggles to find nourishment amidst changing environmental conditions, these carcasses become symbols of both tragedy and resilience. While we can't help but feel sympathy for these fallen comrades, let us also marvel at their beauty and strength even in death. This poignant image captures nature's raw power and reminds us to cherish every living creature around us. So next time you spot a cormorant perched on a rock or diving into the depths for its next meal, spare a thought for those who couldn't survive this challenging chapter. And remember:
