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.

Caught in a Feathered Dilemma - Laysan Albatross vs. Golden Crown-beard Invasion!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness the epic battle between nature's beauty and an invasive force! The majestic Laysan Albatross finds itself on a nest surrounded by the notorious Golden Crown-beard, Verbesina encelioides. It's a showdown of survival! With its regal presence, the Laysan Albatross stands tall and determined, protecting its breeding area from this unwelcome invader. The golden hues of the surrounding crown-beards create an enchanting contrast against the albatross' snowy white feathers. But don't be fooled by their delicate appearance! These seemingly harmless flowers pose a serious threat to our feathery friend's nesting grounds. As an invasive species, they are encroaching upon crucial breeding areas for these magnificent birds - Phoebastria immutabilis. Will our resilient albatross prevail? Or will it succumb to this floral invasion? Only time will tell as these two forces clash amidst breathtaking scenery. This print serves as a reminder of how fragile ecosystems can be disrupted by unwanted intruders. Let it inspire us to protect and preserve our natural habitats so that future generations can witness such awe-inspiring sights without any threats looming overhead. So hang this picture proudly on your wall and let it spark conversations about conservation efforts and the importance of maintaining biodiversity in our ever-changing world!
