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.

Love is in the Air. . . and Water! 🐸💕". Get ready for a ribbiting romance like no other! This print captures the enchanting moment when two European Common Frogs engage in a passionate embrace known as amplexus. These love-struck amphibians are not afraid to show their affection, as the male holds his female partner tightly with his forelegs. The common frog, found across Northern Europe from Britain to Russia, is known for its unique breeding behavior. In early spring, these lovestruck frogs gather in shallow pools to lay their communal masses of eggs called frogspawn. It's quite an eggstravaganza! But why such large egg masses? Well, it turns out that they serve as cozy protection against chilly weather conditions. Talk about smart parenting! As temperatures warm up, tadpoles emerge from their jelly-like homes and grow at an astonishing rate - reaching maturity within just six weeks in warmer ponds! However, those taking a dip in colder waters may take up to four months to undergo metamorphosis. And let's not forget about the males' deep croaks that serenade potential mates during this romantic rendezvous. It's nature's way of saying "Hey there, beautiful!". So dive into this delightful snapshot of amphibian amour by John Cancalosi and witness Mother Nature's incredible spectacle of life and love underwater. Just be careful not to get too caught up in all the froggy passion!
