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 studio shot showcases Triatoma infestans, also known as the kissing bug, an intriguing member of the Triatomine group. Triatoma infestans is an invertebrate belonging to the order Hemiptera and the family Reduviidae, with the common name "assassin bug" reflecting its predatory nature. This bloodsucking conenose is a significant public health concern due to its association with the transmission of diseases, most notably Chagas disease, to humans. Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is endemic to Central and South America, and Triatoma infestans is one of its primary vectors. The insect acquires the parasite by feeding on infected animals or humans, and then transmits it through its saliva during bites. The disease can lead to chronic cardiac and gastrointestinal complications if left untreated. Triatoma infestans is named for its preference for biting humans around the face, particularly near the mouth or eyes, hence the nickname "kissing bug." The insect's nocturnal habits and ability to hide in cracks and crevices during the day make it difficult to detect and control. As a hexapod, Triatoma infestans is part of the class Insecta, which includes over a million described species. Its hexapod status refers to its six legs, a defining characteristic of insects. The insect's body structure is further classified as a true bug, with a distinct head, thorax, and abdomen, and a beak-like structure called a rostrum, which it uses to pierce the skin and suck up blood. This striking image offers a unique glimpse into the intricate world of Triatoma infestans, a fascinating and important invertebrate that plays a crucial role in both the natural world and human health.
