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.

Who needs a superhero cape when you have an inflatable hood? Introducing the one and only FG-6804, the dashing Hooded Seal with a nose that's ready to steal the show! This charismatic marine mammal knows how to make a grand entrance on any icy stage. With his sleek silver coat contrasting against the pristine white snow, FG-6804 is like a superstar strutting down the red carpet. But what truly sets him apart is his extraordinary inflated proboscis, or as we like to call it, his 'hood of wonders. ' Move over Rudolph, there's a new snout in town! It's not just about looks though; this charming pinniped has some serious skills. Whether he uses his impressive schnozzle for attracting mates or intimidating rivals remains unknown, but one thing is for sure – he knows how to turn heads wherever he goes. Captured by talented photographer Francois Gohier, this snapshot perfectly encapsulates nature's creativity and uniqueness. It reminds us that even in the animal kingdom, fashion statements can be made in unexpected ways. So next time you feel deflated about your own appearance, remember FG-6804 and embrace your quirks! After all, who wouldn't want their own inflatable hood? Just imagine the possibilities: instant shade on sunny days or an emergency pillow for impromptu naps. The sky's (or should we say nose?) the limit!
