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
Meet the Master of Disguise: VT-8391, the Chameleon of the Sea!". In this print by Ron & Valerie Taylor, we are introduced to an extraordinary creature that could easily give any undercover agent a run for their money. Behold the Octopus - Common, found along the rocky reefs of NSW Sydney in Australia. With its mesmerizing ability to camouflage and blend seamlessly into its surroundings, this octopus is truly a wildlife wonder. Its remarkable mimicry skills allow it to transform its appearance at will, making it virtually invisible on the seabed. You'll find yourself playing a game of hide-and-seek as you try to spot this elusive mollusc amidst the puzzle-like reef. But don't be fooled by its innocent face! Behind those unusual features lies a mysterious and somewhat scary nature. This toxic and poisonous cephalopod is not one to mess with. Endemic to Australian waters, it's known for cannibalism among its own kind – talk about sibling rivalry taken to another level! So next time you're exploring underwater wonders in Oceania's Australasian region, keep your eyes peeled for VT-8391. Just remember not to judge an octopus by its cover – because beneath that camouflaged exterior lies an intriguing world waiting to be discovered!
