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.

Caught in the Act - Supermom Rain Spider Guards Her Precious Eggs!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Alan Weaving, we witness a truly remarkable sight from the wilds of Grahamstown, South Africa. Meet ASW-4233, a fearless female Rain Spider who takes her role as a nocturnal hunter and protector very seriously. Suspended delicately between leaves of an aloe plant, this devoted mother guards her precious egg-sac with unwavering determination. With a body length reaching up to 40mm, she may be small but don't underestimate her bite! Fear not though, for she is non-poisonous - just one of nature's many fascinating wonders. Living harmoniously amidst vegetation and even venturing into human abodes attracted by lights (watch out!), our eight-legged heroine showcases both strength and grace. Her silk-spinning skills are second to none as she constructs intricate webs that glisten like delicate cobwebs in the African sun. With all eight legs poised protectively around her unborn spiderlings, ASW-4233 embodies the true essence of parenting and nurture in the animal kingdom. A shining example of maternal dedication! So next time you spot an arachnid scurrying across your path or weaving its magical web nearby, take a moment to appreciate these incredible creatures. And remember - behind every successful spiderling lies an amazing mom like ASW-4233!
