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 Master of Disguise - The Hornet Mimic Hoverfly Takes Floral Fashion to New Heights!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by the talented Bill Coster, we are transported to a picturesque garden in Essex, UK. Amidst a sea of vibrant flowers, our attention is immediately drawn to the star of the show - COS-4177, also known as the Hornet Mimic Hoverfly. With its striking black and yellow stripes resembling that of a fearsome hornet, this clever insect has mastered the art of deception. But don't be fooled! This little critter is harmless and plays an essential role in pollination. Hovering gracefully above a delicate flower, COS-4177 indulges in nature's sweetest offerings - nectar and pollen. Its single-minded focus on feeding ensures that these precious resources are efficiently transferred from one bloom to another, aiding in plant reproduction. As we marvel at this incredible creature's ability to mimic danger while peacefully sipping on floral delights, it reminds us that appearances can indeed be deceiving. Nature never ceases to amaze with its endless wonders! So next time you spot an innocent-looking hoverfly buzzing around your garden or local park, take a closer look – it might just be our very own fashion-forward hero disguised as something more sinister. Embrace their presence and appreciate their vital contribution towards maintaining our beautiful ecosystem!
