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.

Two adult Common Coots find themselves locked in an intense showdown on the tranquil waters of Hertfordshire, England. These feisty birds are not holding back as they engage in a fierce fight for dominance. With their striking black plumage and distinctive white beaks, these coots showcase both elegance and aggression simultaneously. The image perfectly encapsulates the raw energy and competitive spirit that nature often unveils. As spring blooms around them, these British beauties demonstrate their fiery temperaments amidst the serene backdrop of lush wetlands. Their Eurasian heritage adds an exotic touch to this quintessentially English scene, reminding us that wildlife knows no boundaries or borders when it comes to asserting its dominance. The water becomes their battleground as they lock beaks and flail wings with unwavering determination. This clash of rivals showcases the primal instinct ingrained within all creatures, even those residing in temperate regions like Hertfordshire. Witnessing such a display reminds us of the incredible diversity found within our natural world. It serves as a reminder that beneath seemingly peaceful surfaces lies a complex web of rivalries waiting to unfold at any given moment.
