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.

Meet the Master of Disguise - The Marbled Stargazer!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this close-up, we witness the incredible camouflage skills of the Marbled Stargazer. With its head buried in black sand, it perfectly blends into its surroundings, becoming one with the ocean floor. This fascinating creature hails from the Lembeh Straits in Sulawesi, Indonesia, where it reigns as an underwater chameleon. Looking at its face might not win any beauty contests, but who needs looks when you can hide like a pro? This ugly-yet-charming Asian fish knows how to play hide-and-seek better than anyone else in the maritime world. Its unique features and striking patterns make it a true standout among other aquatic species. As if taken straight out of a tropical dreamland, this photo captures the essence of Indonesian coastal life. The crystal-clear waters surrounding these islands provide an ideal habitat for our mysterious friend here. So next time you find yourself exploring Southeast Asia's stunning coasts or diving into Indonesia's vibrant marine wonders, keep your eyes peeled for this hidden gem. Just remember to look closely because sometimes beauty lies beneath what meets the eye - even if that means burying oneself in black sand!
