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 - The Silk Worm Spectacular!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, witness the awe-inspiring gathering of CAN-4500, a mesmerizing aggregation of fully grown Giant Silk Worm Caterpillars. These enchanting creatures have taken over the tropical dry forest in Santa Rosa National Park, Costa Rica. During daylight hours, these fuzzy fellows exhibit their remarkable defense mechanism by grouping together on tree trunks. It's like witnessing a secret society plotting their next move! But when night falls and darkness blankets the forest, they embark on an epic feast, munching away on foliage with insatiable appetites. Belonging to the Saturniidae family, these giant silkworm caterpillars are truly a sight to behold. Their vibrant colors and intricate patterns make them resemble tiny works of art crawling through nature's canvas. While we may associate silk production with domesticated silkmoths, it is fascinating to observe these wild beauties thriving in their natural habitat. They remind us that even in Central America's tropical paradise, incredible wildlife behavior can be found at every turn. So grab your magnifying glass and immerse yourself in this extraordinary display of unity and protection among our silky friends. Let John Cancalosi's stunning photograph transport you into a world where caterpillar camaraderie reigns supreme – an unforgettable glimpse into the wonders of the tropics!
