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.

Snail Squad Goals: The Hottest Hangout Spot in Santarem!". In this photo print, witness the incredible gathering of White Garden Snails as they form a secret society to beat the scorching summer heat! These clever critters have devised an ingenious plan to withstand temperatures that would make any Mediterranean coastal dweller wilt. Huddled together on a picturesque portugal beach, these European snails are not just any ordinary molluscs. They belong to the species Theba Pisana and have mastered the art of survival in extreme conditions. With temperatures reaching a sizzling 40 degrees Celsius, these snails know how to keep their cool without breaking a sweat! As you gaze at this mesmerizing swarm of shells, it's hard not to be amazed by their resilience. This wildlife spectacle showcases nature's creativity at its finest - who knew snails could be so resourceful? But don't let their appearance fool you; these little creatures aren't just for show. While they may look like delicate ornaments drying under the sun, they're actually edible! However, we must emphasize that our admiration for them is purely aesthetic – no commercial use intended here! So next time you find yourself strolling along a Portuguese coastline during summertime, keep an eye out for this magnificent mass of gastropods. It's truly a sight worth beholding – but remember to leave them undisturbed as they gather in harmony and prove that unity can conquer even the hottest days!
