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 Devilish Delight - CRH-1036 and the Mischievous Legend of the Devil's Bit Scabious
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Chris Harvey, we are transported to the enchanting meadows of Oxfordshire, England. Here, a vibrant Large Skipper Butterfly gracefully perches on a bed of delicate Devil's bit scabious flowers (Succisa pratensis). But what makes this scene truly intriguing is the folklore that surrounds these unique blooms. Legend has it that the devil himself once grew furious with envy at the beauty of Virgin Mary's garden. In his rage, he sank his teeth into these very roots, leaving them short and stubby forevermore. Henceforth known as Devil's bit scabious! Despite its diabolical origins, this charming flower has become a beloved haven for bees and butterflies alike. Its damp waterlogged meadows provide an oasis for these delightful creatures to flutter about freely. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing snapshot captured by Chris Harvey, we can't help but marvel at nature's ability to weave tales even in its tiniest details. So next time you spot a Large Skipper Butterfly delicately sipping nectar from a Devil's bit scabious flower, remember their shared history – one rooted in mischief and blooming with beauty!
