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.

Leafcutters - The Tiny Architects of the Jungle Kingdom!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported to the enchanting rainforests of Costa Rica, where a bustling community of leafcutter ants is hard at work. These miniature marvels, known as Acromyrmex sp, hold the title for forming Earth's largest and most intricate animal societies after humans. With their razor-sharp mandibles and unwavering determination, these industrious creatures slice through lush foliage like skilled artisans. Their mission? To transport leaf fragments back to their underground colonies in a synchronized display of teamwork that would make even the most efficient human workforce envious. Endemic to South and Central America, Mexico, and parts of southern United States, these tropical ants play an essential role in maintaining the delicate balance of their ecosystem. As they cultivate fungus gardens within their nests using chewed leaves as fertilizer, they inadvertently contribute to nutrient recycling and plant growth. This close-up shot by Andres Morya captures every minute detail with breathtaking precision. From the intricate patterns on each ant's exoskeleton to the vibrant backdrop of Costa Rica's verdant forest canopy - it's nature photography at its finest! So next time you find yourself lost in awe while observing these tiny architects meticulously crafting their jungle kingdom - remember that sometimes big things come in small packages!
