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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Fly like a Gila Woodpecker! This incredible photo captures the moment this desert-dwelling daredevil takes flight, leaving its cozy nest in search of nectar and insects. Known for their important role in pollinating Saguaro cactus blossoms, these woodpeckers are true heroes of the Sonoran Desert. With their sharp beaks and strong wings, Gila Woodpeckers make holes in the towering Saguaro cacti to build their nests. But they don't keep all that prime real estate to themselves! Other birds gladly move into these ready-made homes once the woodpeckers have moved on. This common resident of Arizona shows off its vibrant plumage as it gracefully soars through the sky. Its food-filled beak is evidence of a successful hunting mission, proving that not only can it build impressive nests but also satisfy its appetite with ease. The majestic saguaros stand tall as witnesses to this lively scene, showcasing nature's perfect harmony between bird and plant. It's no wonder why John Cancalosi captured this moment - a snapshot that encapsulates both action and beauty. So next time you spot a Gila Woodpecker flying by or hear its distinctive drumming sound echoing through the desert, remember how much they contribute to our ecosystem. They truly are North America's avian superheroes!
