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.

Texel's Tern-tastic Takeover: A Sky Full of Sandwiches!". In this snapshot by Duncan Usher, we witness a mesmerizing spectacle that could only be described as the ultimate sandwich invasion! Over the picturesque Island of Texel in Holland, a massive flock of Sandwich Terns takes flight, creating an awe-inspiring display against the backdrop of their bustling nesting colony. These elegant sea birds are not your average lunchtime treat; they're masters of the skies and rulers of the seas. With their sleek bodies and striking black caps, they effortlessly glide through the air with grace and precision. It's as if they've formed an avian flash mob to showcase their aerial prowess! As these magnificent creatures soar together in perfect harmony, it's hard not to marvel at nature's wonders. The sheer number of terns creates a breathtaking mass flock that seems almost surreal – like something out of a dream or a scene from Hitchcock’s "The Birds" but far less menacing! This print captures more than just birds in flight; it encapsulates life on Texel island itself. The vibrant habitat teeming with wildlife is testament to Europe's natural beauty and biodiversity. So next time you find yourself craving a delicious sandwich, remember this extraordinary image - where sandwiches take wing instead! Let it remind you that even ordinary things can become extraordinary when viewed through the lens of nature.
