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
. In this print captured by David Northcott along the wild and scenic Central California Coast, we witness a powerful moment between two Northern Elephant Seals. The female adult seal can be seen with her mouth wide open, seemingly objecting to the persistent advances of the male counterpart. With its stunning natural backdrop of Piedras Blancas beach and the open ocean, this snapshot perfectly encapsulates the untamed beauty of wildlife in its habitat. The female's assertive stance showcases her independent spirit and unwillingness to entertain unwanted attention. The coastal region is known for its diverse fauna, but it's hard not to be captivated by these magnificent marine mammals as they engage in their mating rituals. While love may be in the air for some seals on this Californian coast, our leading lady clearly has other plans! So let this photo serve as a reminder that even in nature, consent matters! No means no - whether you're human or an elephant seal. And if anyone needs a lesson on boundaries, just show them this picture - it speaks volumes without saying a word!
