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 image, we witness a vertical polished section through a dome-shaped fossil, identified as Actinostroma, discovered in Devonian rocks of Western Australia. Measuring an impressive 9 cm in width, this ancient invertebrate showcases the intricate structures that once thrived in the ancient ocean floor. Actinostroma is a type of stromatoporoid, a group of porous, dome-shaped organisms that were abundant during the Paleozoic Era. These animals were characterized by their calcareous skeletons, which provided them with both structural support and a means of attachment to the seafloor. The exquisite detail in this fossilized specimen reveals the complex network of interconnected tubes and chambers that made up the internal structure of Actinostroma. These tubes were likely used for the exchange of nutrients and waste, as well as for the circulation of water. The dark background emphasizes the intricate, almost otherworldly beauty of this ancient organism. The skillful studio shot, captured by renowned Australian photographers Paul Taylor and David Lewis, highlights the unique features of this fascinating fossil, transporting us back in time to the Devonian period, when Actinostroma and other intriguing invertebrates dominated the marine ecosystems of Australasia. This exceptional fossil serves as a testament to the rich biodiversity that once existed in our planet's oceans and reminds us of the importance of preserving and studying our natural history.
