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 image, captured in the depths of the ocean during the Victorian era in 1863, showcases the unique and otherworldly appearance of the Anglerfish, specifically the Lophius piscatorius species. Also known as Toadfish, Frogfish, Fishing Frog, and Sea Devil, this bizarre-looking fish is a master of camouflage and ambush. The Anglerfish derives its name from the bioluminescent lure protruding from its head, which it uses to attract unsuspecting prey in the dark abyssal depths of the seabed. Its large, gaping mouth and elongated, filamentous barbel add to its grotesque yet fascinating appearance. The Anglerfish is a deep-sea dweller, living at depths of up to 6,000 meters. Its body is adapted to withstand the extreme pressure and lack of light in its environment. The Anglerfish's skeleton is made of cartilage rather than bone, and its skin is covered in tiny, hair-like structures called papillae, which help it blend in with the rocky seabed. This photograph, taken over a century and a half ago, offers a glimpse into the natural world's wonders and the incredible discoveries made during the 1860s. The Anglerfish's bizarre appearance and unique adaptation to its environment continue to captivate and inspire scientists, explorers, and the public alike, reminding us of the vast and mysterious depths of the ocean and the incredible creatures that inhabit it.
