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
Talk about a hot gossip session! This print captures the hilarious moment when a Redbilled Oxpecker and a Cape buffalo engage in some serious chit-chat. With its beak wide open, the Oxpecker seems to be complaining about the scorching heat while simultaneously giving its buffalo buddy a much-needed tick cleaning service. In this unique display of partnership and symbiosis, these two unlikely pals have formed an unbreakable bond. The oxpecker gets a tasty meal by feasting on parasites that infest the buffalo's skin, while the buffalo enjoys being pampered with an all-natural spa treatment. It's like having your own personal grooming assistant! Their face-to-face interaction is both comical and heartwarming. You can almost imagine them exchanging stories about their adventures in Sabi Sabi game reserve, South Africa - from daring escapes to funny encounters with other animals. But it's not just about looking good; these clever creatures are also masters of temperature control. As they flap their wings to cool down under the scorching African sun, you can't help but admire their resourcefulness. So next time you're feeling hot under the collar, remember this dynamic duo who know how to beat the heat in style! And if you ever need someone to clean your ticks or provide some entertaining conversation, just look for your very own Redbilled Oxpecker.
