17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 egg-cellent find! This ancient ostrich egg, dating back to 600 BC, proves that even birds knew how to make a fashion statement. Not only was it used as a water container (talk about multi-functional), but it was also fabulously decorated with four majestic sphinxes. Move over, Cleopatra – this is the ultimate Egyptian chic! Unearthed in the Isis tomb at Vulci, just a hop and skip away from Rome, this stunning artifact showcases the incredible craftsmanship of our ancestors. Who would have thought that something as ordinary as an ostrich egg could be transformed into such a work of art? It's like finding a diamond in the rough. . . or rather, an exquisite gem inside a humble shell. The fusion of Roman and Egyptian cultures is evident in every intricate detail of this masterpiece. The delicate carvings depict not only the beauty of these mythical creatures but also symbolize power and wisdom. Imagine sipping water from such an extraordinary vessel – talk about feeling regal! David Tipling has truly captured the essence of this remarkable piece through his lens. Birds may flock together, but when they come across something as unique as this decorated ostrich egg, you can bet there will be quite a few feathered friends joining us humans in awe. So let's raise our glasses (or should I say eggs?) to history's unexpected surprises and celebrate the creativity that transcends time!
