Carrying Cormorant Cormorants Hippo Hippopotamus Hippopotamuses Hippos Piggyback Riding Submerged Wading With Other Animals Mixed Species

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
Talk about an unlikely friendship! This print captures the ultimate piggyback ride, as ASW-3936, the adventurous hippopotamus, takes a leisurely stroll through the water with a Reed Cormorant hitching a ride on its back. Who knew hippos were such great transportation providers? This mixed-species duo is breaking all stereotypes and proving that friendships can be found in the most unexpected places. The cormorant seems to have found the perfect perch atop our gentle giant's back, enjoying a free ride while showcasing its balancing skills. ASW-3936 doesn't seem bothered by its feathery passenger at all; in fact, it looks like they're having quite the aquatic adventure together! With their contrasting sizes and appearances, this dynamic duo creates an amusing sight that is sure to bring smiles to anyone who sees it. Alan Weaving has truly captured a remarkable moment of harmony between two very different creatures. It reminds us that nature always finds ways to surprise and delight us with its incredible diversity and unique relationships. So next time you find yourself needing a lift or simply want some company during your watery escapades, remember this iconic image of ASW-3936 and his trusty avian companion – because even hippos need friends!
