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.

Motherhood - A Spiky Adventure Down Under!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by D. Parer & E. Parer-Cook, we witness the heartwarming bond between a Short-beaked Echidna mother and her young as they embark on a nocturnal foraging expedition in the vast Australian wilderness. With their short noses and beaks perfectly adapted for digging into soil, these adorable spiny anteaters are true marvels of nature. As they scurry through the undergrowth, their protective spikes glisten under the moonlight, serving as a reminder that even cuteness can come with its own set of defenses! The little echidna baby clings tightly to its mother's back, seeking comfort and safety amidst the wild unknown. It's an enchanting display of parenting at its finest - teaching us that love knows no bounds, not even when you're covered in prickly armor. Australia's unique fauna never ceases to amaze us! These monotremes remind us that evolution has taken some delightfully strange turns over millions of years. From their peculiar egg-laying abilities to their insatiable appetite for insects, these spiky wonders truly embody the spirit of resilience and adaptability. So next time you find yourself wandering through Oceania or simply daydreaming about distant lands, let this remarkable photograph transport you to an extraordinary world where mothers protectively guide their young through life's prickly challenges – reminding us all that family is worth every spine
