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.

Love is in the Air - A Sandwich Tern Love Story Unfolds on Brownsea Island!". In this print by Dave Kilbey, we witness a truly intimate moment between two Sandwich Terns. As spring arrives on Dorset's stunning coastline, these lovebirds have chosen Brownsea Island as their romantic getaway. With its breathtaking lagoon and picturesque nesting spots, it's no wonder that this island paradise has become a hotspot for bird breeding. The male tern proudly displays his vibrant plumage while wooing his potential mate with an impressive courtship dance. Caught in the act of copulation, these passionate partners remind us that nature knows no boundaries when it comes to expressing affection. Their synchronized movements and undeniable chemistry create a mesmerizing spectacle against the backdrop of crashing waves and golden sands. As members of a tight-knit group of sea birds, these terns understand the importance of finding their perfect match. Together they build nests and raise their young amidst the tranquility of this West Country haven. Let this enchanting image serve as a reminder that even in the animal kingdom, love conquers all obstacles. So next time you visit Dorset's coastlines or any other natural habitat around Europe, keep an eye out for those special moments where wildlife showcases its most beautiful behavior – reminding us all to embrace our own wild side!
