17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 snapshot, we witness nature's very own yoga guru, the Praying Mantis, showcasing its impeccable headstand technique. With its delicate body perched upside down and head gracefully resting on the ground, this Springbox Mantis proves that even insects can master the art of relaxation. Taken under controlled conditions in the enchanting landscapes of the United Kingdom, this print captures a moment of tranquility amidst bustling wildlife. The European countryside provides an idyllic backdrop for our tiny meditator to find inner peace and connect with its surroundings. With its slender green frame and piercing gaze, this mantis exudes an air of mystery and wisdom. Its poised posture invites us to ponder life's deeper questions while marveling at nature's incredible diversity. Is it contemplating insect philosophy? Or perhaps it is simply enjoying a well-deserved siesta after a busy day hunting unsuspecting prey? Regardless of its intentions, one thing is certain – this mesmerizing creature reminds us to slow down and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. So next time you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed by daily life, take inspiration from our little friend here; embrace your inner mantis and find solace in stillness. This extraordinary photograph by Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment serves as a gentle reminder that sometimes all we need is a moment to rest our heads – just like our graceful praying mantis friend!
