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.

Unleashing the Armadillo's Secret - The Art of Unfolding!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness nature's very own origami master at work - the Three-Banded Armadillo! As if straight out of a magical storybook, Francois Gohier captures the exact moment when this armored marvel begins to unfold from its curled-up protective position. Hailing from Argentina, Paraguay, and parts of Brazil, Tolypeutes matacus proves that South America is home to some truly unique creatures. With its three distinct bands and flexible armor plating resembling a sequence of perfectly shaped balls, this little mammal has mastered the art of deception and defense. Imagine being able to roll up into an impenetrable ball whenever danger lurks nearby! It's no wonder armadillos have become symbols of resilience in folklore. But what makes our protagonist even more fascinating is its ability to gracefully unfurl itself when it senses safety once again. Francois Gohier's lens beautifully captures every intricate detail – from the delicate folds unfolding like a blooming flower to the armadillo’s curious expression as it emerges into freedom. This single snapshot reminds us that wildlife never ceases to amaze us with their remarkable adaptations. So let this enchanting image serve as a reminder that sometimes life may throw you curveballs but remember - just like our adorable armadillo friend - you too can unravel your hidden strengths and face any challenge head-on!
