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/Matt Cole, we witness the incredible defensive behavior of an adult Common Pill Woodlouse in Leicestershire, England. Rolled up tightly like a miniature armadillo, this fascinating arthropod showcases its unique ability to protect itself from potential threats. With its European charm and quintessential British spirit, this woodland dweller demonstrates the art of self-defense in true UK fashion. As autumn leaves carpet the forest floor, our brave little woodlouse takes center stage with its impressive rolling prowess. This terrestrial crustacean belongs to the isopod family and can be found across temperate Europe. Its scientific name, Armadillidium vulgare, perfectly describes its armor-like appearance when curled into a tight ball. It seems even Mother Nature recognizes that sometimes it's best to roll with it! As we admire this enchanting creature's defensive posture, let us appreciate the wonders of nature right on our doorstep. From their quirky poses to their ingenious survival strategies, these pillbugs remind us that there is always beauty and excitement waiting to be discovered in every corner of our natural world.
