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.

Arctic Terns - Masters of the Mid-Air Food Exchange!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness a remarkable display of aerial acrobatics by two Arctic Terns engaged in an epic food pass. These feathered daredevils are known for their extraordinary migratory journeys spanning thousands of miles, and here they showcase another astonishing talent - their mid-air dining etiquette! With wings outstretched and beaks poised, these elegant birds execute a seamless transfer of sustenance high above the Arctic tundra. It's as if they've choreographed a perfectly synchronized ballet routine! The precision and finesse with which they exchange nourishment is truly awe-inspiring. As one tern gracefully approaches its partner, carrying a delectable morsel in its beak, anticipation fills the air. Will the recipient successfully catch it? Or will it end up being an unintended snack for some opportunistic seagull below? This photograph encapsulates both the beauty and resilience of nature's wonders. It reminds us that even in harsh environments like the Arctic, life finds ways to thrive through cooperation and resourcefulness. So next time you're feeling peckish or simply craving some avian entertainment, let this stunning print transport you to the icy realms where Arctic Terns reign supreme – masters of mid-air food passes that leave us humans marveling at their skillful antics!
