31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 the stillness of a studio setting, a solitary fossilized specimen of the subgenus Cataceramus, a member of the Inoceramus genus, stands out against a black background. This extinct bivalve mollusk once thrived during the late Cretaceous period, a time marked by the Mesozoic Era's final chapter. The Phanerozoic Eon, a geological era characterized by the presence of abundant fossilized remains, bore witness to the existence of this prehistoric creature. The Cataceramus, with its intricately patterned shell, is a testament to the intricacies of life that once flourished during the Cretaceous period. Its name, derived from the Greek words "kata," meaning down, and "keras," meaning horn, refers to the downwardly curved beak-like structure that adorned its shell. This feature, along with its elongated, fan-shaped shell, was an adaptation that allowed it to filter feed in the shallow, muddy waters of the ancient seas. David Lewis, a renowned paleontologist, meticulously excavated this fossil from the earth's crust, unearthing a piece of history that spans millions of years. Paul Taylor, a skilled photographer, captured its essence in this studio shot, highlighting the intricacies of the fossil's shell and the beauty of its ancient origins. The Cataceramus serves as a reminder of the rich history that lies beneath our feet, a testament to the diverse and ever-evolving world that existed long before humans graced the earth. This fossil, a relic of the past, continues to inspire awe and fascination, inviting us to explore the mysteries of the natural world and the secrets it holds.
