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.

Nature's Stealthy Assassin - The Kite-tailed Robberfly Strikes Again!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the incredible hunting prowess of the Kite-tailed Robberfly (Machimus atricapillus) in action. With its striking appearance and killer instincts, this adult predator from Downe Bank Nature Reserve in Kent, England is a force to be reckoned with. Hovering gracefully amidst the picturesque North Downs landscape, our winged hero has caught itself a delicious meal. Its sharp eyes lock onto its unsuspecting prey, an unfortunate insect that dared to cross paths with this skilled hunter. With lightning-fast reflexes and precision accuracy, the Robberfly swoops down for the kill! As summer fills the air with warmth and life buzzes all around us, it's fascinating to observe these wild creatures going about their daily routines. This particular species belongs to the Asilidae family of robber flies known for their voracious appetites and aerial acrobatics. The Downe Bank Nature Reserve provides an ideal habitat for these remarkable insects as they thrive on a diverse menu of invertebrates and arthropods. Their presence not only adds excitement but also plays a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance within Greater London's outer boroughs. So next time you venture into nature's playground or explore your own backyard, keep an eye out for these kite-tailed marvels soaring through the skies. But remember - even though they may look like miniature superheroes - it's best
