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.

Plaice's Eye-catching Makeover - From Left to Right, and Up to the Surface!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this underwater snapshot by P. Morris, we witness the incredible transformation of a European plaice as it undergoes metamorphosis. This marine fish knows how to make a stylish statement with its unique adaptation - migrating its left eye towards the upper surface! Talk about a fish with an eye for fashion! As our finned friend rests peacefully on the seabed, it showcases its remarkable ability to blend seamlessly into its surroundings. With intricate camouflage skills, this clever flatfish perfectly matches the sandy ocean floor beneath it. It's like witnessing Mother Nature's very own magic trick! But what really catches our attention is that mesmerizing gaze from above. The plaice's left eye seems determined to explore new horizons and take in all that lies beyond its watery world. Who knew fish could be so adventurous? With such sharp senses and impeccable style, it's no wonder why these European delicacies are highly sought after as food fish! But let's not forget their importance in maintaining balance within our precious marine ecosystems. So next time you spot a plaice swimming gracefully through North Atlantic or North Sea waters, remember their hidden talents lie not only in taste but also in their ability to captivate us with their stunning adaptations and natural beauty.
