Brasiliensis Hevea Plantation Rubber Tapping Worker Incision
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.

Rubber Tapping - The Sticky Business of Tree Whispering!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a true arboreal maestro in action! Meet our talented plantation worker as he delicately performs the ancient art of rubber tapping on a majestic Hevea brasiliensis tree. With steady hands and an expert touch, he skillfully makes precise incisions that unlock nature's golden elixir – rubber! As the morning sun filters through the lush foliage, our protagonist seems to share an intimate conversation with his leafy companion. Is he whispering words of encouragement or perhaps swapping secrets about their favorite tap-dancing moves? We can only imagine what tales these trees could tell if they had ears! With each gentle cut, this dedicated worker ensures a sustainable supply of natural rubber for countless everyday products. From bouncy balls to car tires and everything in between, his efforts contribute to keeping us all rolling smoothly through life. So let's raise a toast (or maybe even bounce one!) to these unsung heroes who keep our world elastic and full of fun surprises. Next time you enjoy your trusty eraser or stretchy band, remember the tireless workers like him who make it all possible – silently nurturing trees and bringing joy into our lives one incision at a time.
