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.

Love is in the Air - A Coote-iful Connection at Rye Meads Reserve!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting snapshot captured by FLPA's talented photographer, John Watkins, we witness a truly romantic rendezvous between two Common Coots. These elegant avian lovers have chosen an unusual location for their amorous encounter – a flooded former gravel pit turned spit at the picturesque Rye Meads RSPB Reserve in Hoddesdon. As spring blooms across Hertfordshire, these European lovebirds are seizing the moment to express their affectionate bond. With feathers ruffled and beaks entwined, they engage in a passionate dance of copulation that symbolizes new beginnings and the continuation of life. Surrounded by breathtaking wetlands and freshwater wonders, this pair of coots reminds us of nature's resilience and beauty. Their synchronized movements reflect perfect harmony as they navigate through the tranquil waters of Lea Valley. Amidst disused quarries transformed into thriving habitats, these Eurasian sweethearts serve as ambassadors for conservation efforts. They remind us that even within man-made landscapes, wildlife can find solace and create lasting connections. So let us celebrate this magical moment frozen in time – a testament to love flourishing against all odds. May it inspire us to cherish our own relationships while appreciating the boundless wonders nature has to offer!
