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.

Sunflower Sunbathing with a Mischievous Guest - The Colorado Potato Beetle!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness a delightful encounter between nature's beauty and an unexpected visitor. A vibrant sunflower, standing tall in the Summer Biosphere Reserve of Schwaebische Alb, Germany, becomes an unwitting host to the notorious Colorado Potato Beetle. As the sunflower basks in its golden glory, little does it know that a mischievous intruder has set its sights on its succulent leaves. Enter the Ten-striped Spearman or Ten-lined Potato Beetle – a tiny but destructive pest known for wreaking havoc on potato crops across Europe. With its striking ten black stripes contrasting against bright yellow wings, this beetle seems determined to make itself at home amidst the sunflower's petals. Perhaps it mistook these sunny blooms as an all-you-can-eat buffet! But fear not! This print serves as a gentle reminder of nature's intricate balance. While pests like the Colorado Potato Beetle may cause trouble for farmers and gardeners alike, they also play their part in maintaining biodiversity within our ecosystem. So let us marvel at this enchanting moment captured by Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment – where even amidst potential destruction lurks undeniable charm and fascination.
