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 captured by FLPA/Roger Tidman, we are treated to a mesmerizing sight of a Northern Shoveler male undergoing an extraordinary makeover. With its vibrant feathers glistening under the Norfolk sun, this dashing drake is in the midst of moulting into his striking breeding plumage. As he gracefully glides through the tranquil waters, it's hard not to marvel at nature's artistry. The Northern Shoveler proudly displays its distinctive shovel-like bill, which gives it both its name and an undeniable charm. This waterfowl wonder hails from Europe and Eurasia but has made itself right at home in Norfolk's wetlands. March brings with it a touch of avian magic as these ducks prepare for their annual springtime rendezvous. Their enchanting transformation serves as a reminder that change can be truly beautiful. From dull browns to resplendent blues and greens, this flamboyant fowl knows how to make heads turn! While our fine-feathered friend may be far from North America or East Anglia, his allure transcends borders. So take a moment to appreciate Mother Nature's brushstrokes on display here – her delicate handiwork transforming ordinary creatures into extraordinary works of living art. Whether you're an avid birdwatcher or simply enjoy whimsical wonders, let this print transport you into the magical world where ducks become dandies!
