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
Sun-kissed and Feather-Ready: The Roadrunner's Ultimate Spa Day!". In this print by John Cancalosi, we witness the glamorous lifestyle of a Greater Roadrunner in Arizona, USA. This large-crested terrestrial bird knows how to soak up the sun like a true diva! With its black skin absorbing warmth from the rays, our feathered friend elegantly erects its feathers to allow direct contact with the golden beams. Known for its presence in arid Southwest regions, this common desert dweller rarely takes flight. Instead, it prefers to strut around scrub deserts and mesquite groves on foot – no wonder it has such fabulous legs! But it's not just about looking fabulous; this roadrunner has some serious temperature control skills. By basking under the sun's loving embrace, it regulates its body heat while enjoying a delectable menu of lizards, snakes, and insects. With an impressive back view captured in Cancalosi's lens, we can't help but admire this North American beauty. Its unique behavior of sunbathing showcases both intelligence and style – who needs sunscreen when you have perfectly adapted plumage? So next time you need some inspiration for your own relaxation routine or want to learn how to strike a pose effortlessly, take notes from our fashionable roadrunner friend. Just remember not to mention any commercial use – after all, even birds deserve their privacy!
