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
Who knew bedbugs had a taste for Italian cuisine? This daring Common Bedbug (Cimex lectularius) adult takes its bloodsucking skills to the next level as it indulges in some fine dining on human skin in sunny Italy. Talk about an adventurous palate! In this print captured by FLPA/Emanuele Biggi, we witness the intimate encounter between this European host and its tiny vampire-like visitor. With precision and determination, the bedbug expertly sinks its proboscis into the unsuspecting person's skin, satisfying its insatiable thirst for blood. While most of us would prefer not to be dinner guests for these pesky insects, there's something oddly fascinating about their parasitic nature. They may be small in size, but they sure know how to make their presence felt – especially during those warm summer months when they come out to play. So here's a toast to this audacious bedbug who dares to challenge our notion of traditional food pairings! Who needs spaghetti and meatballs when you can have a bite from an arthropod instead? Bon appétit!
