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 photo print, we witness a majestic Galapagos Giant Tortoise in its natural habitat at the Charles Darwin Research Station. With its distinctive saddleback form, this Geochelone elephantophus hoodensis is a true marvel of nature. As we gaze upon the image, we can't help but be enchanted by the tortoise's leisurely pace and calm demeanor. It seems to embody the essence of tranquility as it munches on a delicious leaf with utmost satisfaction. The vibrant greenery provides a delightful contrast against its ancient shell, reminding us of the lush beauty that thrives in these enchanting islands. This snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a gentle reminder of our responsibility to protect these incredible creatures. As one of Ecuador's threatened species, every effort must be made to ensure their survival for generations to come. So let this charming photo transport you to Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island, where you can almost feel the warm breeze and hear the rustle of leaves underfoot. Take a break from life's hectic pace and join this magnificent tortoise on its slow journey through paradise – after all, sometimes it's those who take their time that truly win the race!
