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.

Sun-kissed and Shell-ebrating - NG-667, the Ultimate Chillaxing Turtle!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Nick Gordon, we witness a truly remarkable moment in the heart of Amazonia Brazil. Meet NG-667, also known as Expansa Turtle – the undisputed queen of sunbathing! With her sleek reptilian body gracefully perched on a rock amidst crystal-clear waters, she's taking relaxation to a whole new level. As the warm Brazilian sun blankets her scaly back, NG-667 basks in its golden rays with an air of pure bliss. This isn't just any ordinary tanning session; it's all part of her pre-nesting ritual. Our amphibious friend knows that maintaining optimal body temperature is crucial for ensuring successful egg-laying later on. With eyes closed and flippers outstretched like tiny solar panels, NG-667 has mastered the art of temperature control. She effortlessly absorbs every ounce of sunshine while embracing her inner zen master. It's no wonder she reigns supreme among reptiles! This awe-inspiring snapshot showcases not only the beauty but also the resilience of wildlife in their natural habitat. So next time you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed, take a leaf out of NG-667's book and find your own sunny spot to recharge your batteries – just remember to bring sunscreen if you're not as well-equipped with built-in UV protection!
