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, we witness a thrilling moment straight out of a sci-fi movie! The mischievous Emerald Cockroach Wasp has just pulled off its ultimate trickery by depositing its precious egg on an unsuspecting American Cockroach. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time! Hailing from South Asia, Africa, and Pacific Islands (under controlled conditions), this jewel-like wasp displays solitary behavior as it executes its diabolical plan. With precision and stealth, it stings its cockroach victim, turning it into a real-life zombie! Yes, you heard that right - a zombie cockroach! As if that wasn't mind-boggling enough, the wasp then lays its eggs inside the immobilized roach. It's like witnessing nature's very own horror story unfold before our eyes! These parasitic creatures have mastered the art of manipulating their hosts for their own survival. With vibrant colors contrasting against each other in this photograph captured by FLPA/Emanuele Biggi, we are reminded once again of Mother Nature's incredible diversity. From tropical arthropods to zombified victims, every corner of our planet holds fascinating secrets waiting to be discovered.
