Captivity Giraffe Giraffes Neck Tall
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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
Step right up and marvel at the wondrous sight of the longest necked creature in the world, the majestic Giraffe, in this photograph from the roaring twenties. Taken in the lush gardens of a turn-of-the-century zoo, this elegant giraffe stands tall and proud in its enclosure, its graceful form a testament to the beauty and wonder of the natural world. The 1920s, a decade of flapper dresses, jazz music, and newfound freedom, was also a time when the fascination with exotic animals reached new heights. Zoos became popular destinations for the curious public, offering a glimpse into the unknown and the chance to witness creatures from far-off lands. This giraffe, with its distinctive spotted coat and elongated neck, was a particular favorite among visitors. Its long, graceful limbs and gentle demeanor made it a beloved symbol of the natural world, a reminder of the beauty and diversity of God's creation. Despite the advances of the modern world, the giraffe remained a mystery, an enigma that captivated the imagination of people young and old. In this photograph, we see not just a captive animal, but a symbol of the enduring allure of the natural world and the wonder it holds for us all. The verdant foliage and vibrant colors of the enclosure provide a striking contrast to the giraffe's elegant form, while the clear blue sky and bright sunlight add to the sense of serenity and tranquility. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of a time when the natural world was a source of wonder and inspiration, and when the simple pleasure of observing the beauty of creation was enough to enchant the heart and soul.
