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 breathtaking snapshot captured by FLPA/Robin Chittenden, we witness the awe-inspiring moment when a Great Shearwater spreads its wings and gracefully takes flight from the surface of the sea. As if defying gravity itself, this adult seabird showcases its remarkable aerial skills against the stunning backdrop of Morocco's coastal waters. With its sleek feathers glistening under the November sun, our feathered friend seems to be bidding farewell to land as it embarks on an exhilarating journey across the vast Atlantic. Known for their pelagic lifestyle, these European natives venture far offshore in search of abundant marine life. As we marvel at this magnificent creature in mid-flight, let us not forget that shearwaters are true masters of navigation. Guided by an innate sense honed over generations, they effortlessly traverse great distances between continents. This particular beauty is heading towards North Africa's enchanting shores – a part of their migratory route known as Maghreb. The image captures not only the sheer elegance and power behind each wingbeat but also serves as a reminder of nature's wonders that surround us. It invites us to appreciate both wildlife and our planet's diverse ecosystems. So next time you find yourself near Morocco's coastline or any other coastal paradise worldwide, keep your eyes peeled for these avian acrobats taking off into adventure – just like our splendid Great Shearwater here!
