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 print by Alan Weaving, we witness the mischievous antics of the notorious Lily Weevil as it indulges in its favorite delicacy - the leaves of Pig's Ears (Cotyledon orbiculata). Hailing from Grahamstown, Eastern Cape in South Africa, this little insect is causing quite a stir! With its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, the Lily Weevil may seem like a harmless beauty. However, don't be fooled by its charming appearance! This beetle belongs to the Coleoptera family and is known for its herbivorous tendencies. As it munches away on these succulent plants, defoliation becomes an art form. As we zoom in on this single Lily Weevil engrossed in devouring Pig's Ears leaves, we can almost hear it saying "Bon appétit!". With each bite taken, destruction follows suit. The damage caused by these pests can be alarming but fascinating at the same time. Let us not forget that nature has its own balance. While some might consider them pests, these insects play an essential role in our ecosystem. So next time you spot a Lily Weevil feasting on your garden plants, take a moment to appreciate their unique contribution to our wild world.
