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
This photograph, dated 1863, showcases a vibrant and intriguing underwater scene featuring three distinct species of goby fish: the Broad-Finned Goby (Gobiodon okinawae), the Little Goby (previously known as Gobius minutus), and the Two-Spotted Goby (Gobiusculus flavescens). The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to the Victorian era and invites us to explore the wonders of the natural world that fascinated scientists and collectors of the time. The Broad-Finned Goby, also known as the Yellow Clown Goby, is easily recognizable with its bright yellow coloration and broad, fan-like pectoral fins. This small, reef-dwelling fish is native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans and is a popular choice among aquarium enthusiasts for its striking appearance and interesting behavior. The Little Goby, once classified as Gobius minutus, is a diminutive species with a brownish-gray body and a distinctive black spot near its dorsal fin. This bottom-dwelling fish is commonly found in the Atlantic and Mediterranean seas and is known for its ability to cling to rocks and other surfaces using its disc-like body and strong adhesive discs on its underside. The Two-Spotted Goby, with its two distinctive black spots, is a small, elongated fish that inhabits the sandy and rocky shores of the North Atlantic and Mediterranean seas. This species is a master of camouflage, blending seamlessly into its surroundings and using its ability to change color to evade predators. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of marine life that existed long before the age of mass commercialization and exploitation. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting the natural world for future generations to enjoy and study.
