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 in North Yorkshire, England, we witness a thrilling moment in the life of an immature male Merlin falcon. With its striking first-year plumage on display, our feathery protagonist is caught red-handed (or should we say red-taloned?) plucking and devouring a House Sparrow. With razor-sharp focus and lightning-fast reflexes, this British-born bird of prey showcases its predatory prowess as it indulges in a delightful meal. The Merlin's Asian heritage adds an exotic touch to the scene, reminding us that nature knows no boundaries. As winter blankets the English countryside, our raptor hero takes advantage of its captive setting to savor every morsel with gusto. Its keen eyesight locks onto unsuspecting passerines like the House Sparrow – proving that even within captivity, wild instincts remain untamed. This image serves as a reminder of the intricate web woven by Mother Nature herself. It highlights both the beauty and ferocity found within our avian friends' daily lives. From feathers plucked mid-air to songbirds turned into sustenance, survival becomes an art form for these magnificent creatures. So let us marvel at this snapshot frozen in time - where predator meets prey and instinct dances with hunger. Join us on this visual journey through Eurasia and North America as we celebrate the immatures' triumphs and tribulations while they navigate their way through nature's
