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.

Nightjar - the Master of Disguise Strikes a Pose!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by wildlife photographer David Chapman, we are treated to an enchanting glimpse into the secretive world of the nightjar. With its beady eyes and intricate plumage, this nocturnal avian marvel effortlessly blends into its surroundings on the ground. Known for their exceptional camouflage skills, nightjars have perfected the art of disappearing in plain sight. Their mottled feathers mimic fallen leaves and bark so convincingly that even the most observant predator would struggle to spot them. This particular nightjar seems to revel in its ability to vanish amidst nature's tapestry. As twilight descends and darkness envelops our senses, these elusive creatures come alive with a symphony of haunting calls that echo through moonlit forests. The nightjar's enigmatic presence adds an air of mystery to any nocturnal adventure. With their unique adaptations and mesmerizing beauty, it is no wonder why ornithologists consider nightjars as true masters of disguise in the animal kingdom. So next time you find yourself wandering under a starry sky, keep your eyes peeled for these feathered illusionists – they might just reveal themselves when you least expect it! David Chapman's stunning photograph serves as a reminder that there is always more than meets the eye in nature's grand theater – where every creature has a story waiting to be discovered.
