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 truly unique collaboration between humans and nature. On Hrisey Island, Northern Iceland, amidst the breathtaking coastal beauty of the Atlantic, a woman delicately collects eiderdown from a Common Eider nest. With her keen eye for quality plumage, she gathers these soft treasures to create luxurious bedding fit for royalty. As she carefully navigates through the nesting grounds of these majestic waterfowl, it becomes evident that this is no ordinary gathering expedition. The woman's connection with these birds goes beyond mere collection; it is an art form in itself. Her gentle touch ensures that not a single feather is disturbed or misplaced. Surrounded by wild European wildlife and untouched Nordic landscapes, this scene encapsulates both serenity and adventure. It reminds us of our harmonious relationship with nature – where human ingenuity meets Mother Earth's abundant offerings. The print captures more than just feathers; it immortalizes the bond between humans and animals in their shared habitat. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world filled with synthetic materials, there are still those who appreciate the natural wonders around us. So next time you snuggle up under your cozy eiderdown comforter on a chilly winter night, take a moment to appreciate the journey behind its creation – one that involves ducks gracefully providing their downy gift while humans play their part as respectful gatherers of nature
