31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
This print showcases the intricate details of a female human flea, captured under a light microscope. The image reveals the unique characteristics of these wingless creatures that are often found hidden in hair due to their flattened shape from side to side. Their hind legs, prominently enlarged, enable them to execute impressive jumps. However, beyond their remarkable physical attributes lies a darker truth - fleas act as vectors for various diseases. This photograph serves as a reminder of the potential health risks associated with these tiny parasites. The absence of distinctive genitalia distinguishes this particular female flea from its male counterpart. With an impressive magnification level of x15 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every minute detail is brought into sharp focus through this vertical scientific image. Photographed by Steve Gschmeissner and available through Fine Art Storehouse, this print exemplifies the intersection between art and science. It invites viewers to appreciate not only the aesthetic beauty but also the biological complexity present within even the smallest organisms on our planet.
