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
. In this snapshot by Paul van Gaalen, we get an exclusive peek into the mysterious world of European bats. Meet VG-7123, a charming greater horseshoe bat caught mid-hibernation at the enchanting Argonne cave in France. With their agile wings spread wide, these insectivores find solace hanging upside down as they rest during their nocturnal adventures. In this moment frozen in time, VG-7123 showcases its remarkable ability to find comfort even while sleeping. Alone but not lonely, our furry friend finds shelter within the cave's cool embrace. As it peacefully slumbers, one can't help but wonder about the dreams that dance through its tiny mammalian mind. The intricate details captured by van Gaalen highlight the beauty and grace of these often misunderstood creatures. With their delicate features and unique resting positions, greater horseshoe bats remind us that there is magic even in stillness. So next time you stumble upon a print like this one from Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment, take a moment to appreciate the hidden wonders that exist right under our noses.
