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
1. Title: "Northern Gannets: A Dance of Love and Affection - Fencing, the Intimate Pair Bonding Display" This photograph showcases the unique and intriguing pair bonding display of Northern Gannets, also known as Morus bassanus or Sula bassana, during their reunions. Captured by renowned wildlife photographer John Cancalosi, this image is a testament to the remarkable behavior of these large, striking seabirds native to the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans. The Northern Gannet is easily recognizable with its six-foot wingspan, long black-tipped wings, and pointed tail. Known for their high-diving abilities, these birds are renowned for their sudden, headlong plunges into the water in pursuit of prey. However, this image reveals a different side of their nature – a tender and affectionate one. In this photograph, a pair of Northern Gannets engage in a mating display called "fencing." This behavior is performed when two individuals come together after being separated, and it serves to reaffirm their bond and strengthen their connection. The birds touch beaks, locking them together in a dance-like motion, while their wings create a rhythmic, fencing-like motion, adding to the display's elegance and allure. This image is a reminder of the complex and fascinating behaviors that exist within the natural world. It is essential to appreciate and protect these magnificent creatures and their habitats.
