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 captures the raw power and majesty of a Malayan Tiger in its natural habitat, taken in the early 1920s in what is now Singapore or Malaysia. The image showcases the tiger's striking orange coat, black vertical stripes, and piercing green eyes, which seem to penetrate deep into the soul of the viewer. The tiger is the largest and most powerful cat species in the world, and was once abundant in the forests of Southeast Asia, including Singapore and Malaysia. At the time this photograph was taken, the region was under British colonial rule, and the Malayan Peninsula was a British protectorate. The tiger was a symbol of the wild and untamed natural world that the British were determined to conquer and civilize. The tiger was also hunted for its valuable fur, which was in high demand in the international market. Despite efforts to protect the tiger population, their numbers have declined significantly due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-tiger conflicts. Today, the Malayan Tiger is considered an endangered species, with an estimated population of only around 3,000 individuals. Conservation efforts are underway to protect the remaining tiger populations and their habitats, and to raise awareness about the importance of preserving this iconic species for future generations. This photograph serves as a reminder of the beauty and power of the natural world, and the importance of preserving it for future generations to enjoy. It also highlights the rich cultural and historical connections between Singapore, Malaysia, and the Malayan Tiger, which continue to inspire and captivate people around the world.
