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 the Act - Skua's Sneaky Steal!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious snapshot captured by Ardea Wildlife, we witness a mischievous Brown Skua, also known as Falkland Skua or Sea-hen, caught red-handed with an unexpected treasure - a stolen penguin egg! With its brown feathers blending seamlessly into the rocky terrain of Antarctica, this cunning bird thought it had outsmarted everyone. Little did it know that its audacious act was being documented for all to see. The photo perfectly captures the skua's sly expression as it proudly holds onto the precious prize. The vibrant hues of brown and white create a striking contrast against the icy backdrop, showcasing nature's beauty even in moments of mischief. As we observe this comical scene unfold, one can't help but wonder about the penguin parents searching frantically for their missing offspring. Will they discover their stolen egg nestled safely within our feathery thief's clutches? Or will they be left perplexed by its sudden disappearance? Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment has once again delivered an extraordinary glimpse into wildlife antics that are both captivating and amusing. This print serves as a reminder that even in nature's most serious moments, there is always room for laughter and entertainment. So sit back, relax, and let yourself be whisked away into this whimsical world where skua bandits roam free!
