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.

Nature's Fuzzy Convention - A Caterpillar Party in Costa Rica!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by John Cancalosi, we are transported to the enchanting world of Santa Rosa National Park in Costa Rica. Behold the mesmerizing sight of CAN-4501, a massive aggregation of fully grown Giant Silk Worm Caterpillars! These vibrant creatures have formed an extraordinary gathering on tree trunks during daylight hours, only to embark on their nocturnal feast upon foliage. With their striking colors and intricate patterns, these caterpillars from the Saturniidae family truly steal the show. It's as if they've donned their best party attire for this wild celebration of life! Their synchronized behavior is not just for fun though; it serves as a clever defense mechanism against potential predators lurking in the tropical dry forest. As we marvel at this remarkable display of unity and protection, let us not forget about the crucial role these silk worms play in our ecosystem. From domesticated silkmoths to giant silkworm caterpillars, they contribute to preserving nature's delicate balance. So next time you're strolling through a lush forest or exploring a national park, keep your eyes peeled for these fascinating critters. Who knows? You might stumble upon your very own "Caterpillar Carnival" where mass gatherings like CAN-4501 remind us that even insects know how to throw one heck of a party!
