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
In this image, a group of Steppe or Horsfield's Tortoises (Agrionemys horsfieldii) can be seen grazing peacefully in the foothills of the Kopetdag Mountains in Turkmenistan. The tortoises, with their distinctive yellowish-brown shells and rounded bodies, are perfectly adapted to the arid steppe environment. Springtime in this Central Asian region brings new life to the landscape, and the tortoises emerge from their burrows to feed on the fresh grasses that have sprouted after the winter rains. The tortoises' slow and deliberate movements add to the serene atmosphere of the scene, as they make their way across the sandy terrain, their heads raised in search of tasty morsels. The Steppe Tortoise is an important part of the local ecosystem, and their presence is a testament to the rich biodiversity of this region. The Kopetdag Mountains, with their rugged hills and scenic vistas, provide a picturesque backdrop to this natural wonder. The history of this area is steeped in intrigue, with ancient civilizations and empires leaving their mark on the land. Yet, despite the rich human history, the Steppe Tortoise and other wildlife continue to thrive in their natural habitats, offering a glimpse into the natural world that has remained largely unchanged for centuries. This photograph captures the beauty and tranquility of the Steppe Tortoise in its natural habitat, reminding us of the importance of preserving these precious ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
