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.

Curious Critter on High Alert - South African Ground Squirrel Takes a Peek!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by wildlife enthusiast Geoff Trinder, we witness the incredible vigilance of a South African Ground Squirrel in the heart of Botswana's Kalahari Desert. Standing tall on its hind legs, this adorable rodent appears to be playing lookout at the entrance to its cozy burrow. With its tiny paws firmly planted on the sandy ground, our furry friend gazes intently towards the left, as if anticipating an exciting visitor or perhaps keeping a watchful eye out for any potential predators lurking nearby. Its alert posture and wide-eyed expression showcase both curiosity and caution—a true testament to nature's remarkable survival instincts. The arid backdrop of the Kalahari adds an extra layer of intrigue to this charming scene. As one of Africa's most unforgiving deserts, it is awe-inspiring to see how these resilient creatures adapt and thrive in such harsh conditions. The intricate network of underground burrows provides shelter from scorching temperatures while also serving as safe havens for raising their young. Geoff Trinder has truly encapsulated a moment that reminds us all about the wonders found within our planet's diverse ecosystems. So next time you stumble upon a squirrel diligently standing guard like this little hero, take a moment to appreciate their unwavering dedication and enjoy being part of Mother Nature's delightful show!
