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
Love is in the Air-achnids! Meet this adventurous couple, the St Andrews cross spiders, caught in a web of romance. In this photo print, we witness the intricate dance of courtship between these arachnid lovebirds. The female spider takes center stage as she proudly displays her vibrant and distinctive St Andrews cross pattern on her abdomen. With delicate precision, she weaves an enchanting cobweb that serves as their cozy nest. Meanwhile, her attentive male companion stands by her side, ready to protect and support his partner. This snapshot captures not only their striking appearance but also showcases sexual dimorphism at its finest. The male's smaller size and less elaborate markings highlight the unique characteristics that distinguish them from their female counterparts. Found exclusively in Australia's vast wilderness, these fascinating creatures remind us of nature's incredible diversity. As they navigate through life together, spinning webs and capturing prey with remarkable skill, they demonstrate the beauty of teamwork and unity. So let this mesmerizing image transport you into their world - a realm where love knows no bounds and where even eight-legged creatures can teach us valuable lessons about companionship.
