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 snapshot captured by FLPA/John Holmes, we witness a true artist of nature in action. Meet the Cape Weaver, an adult male showcasing his remarkable weaving skills as he meticulously constructs his nest material. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Bontebok National Park in South Africa's Western Cape province, this image encapsulates both beauty and ingenuity. With its vibrant plumage and focused expression, our feathered friend demonstrates impeccable craftsmanship. The intricate patterns woven into the nest showcase not only the bird's exceptional talent but also its dedication to creating a safe haven for future generations. As one of Africa's most skilled avian architects, this male Cape Weaver showcases behavior that is nothing short of extraordinary. Using materials found within its surroundings - perhaps some fynbos from the renowned Cape Floristic Region - it builds a sturdy structure that will protect its offspring from predators and harsh weather conditions. This photo serves as a gentle reminder of just how diverse and awe-inspiring wildlife can be. So next time you stumble upon a bird's nest during your outdoor adventures, take a moment to appreciate the incredible effort put forth by these master builders!
