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 print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1970s at Chessington Zoo, where a magnificent creature named Ben the Hippopotamus steals the spotlight. Towering over his surroundings and weighing an impressive one ton, Ben's presence is truly awe-inspiring. However, what makes this image particularly endearing is the unexpected twist of humor it captures. As we zoom in on Ben's massive jaws, we notice a surprising sight - a plastic bag being carefully removed from between his teeth by a dedicated zookeeper. It seems even hippos can fall victim to dental inconveniences! This heartwarming snapshot not only showcases the incredible bond between animals and their caretakers but also reminds us of our shared vulnerability as living beings. Despite his immense size and strength, Ben relies on human assistance for those pesky little problems that can arise unexpectedly. The juxtaposition of such a powerful animal with something as mundane as dental care adds an element of whimsy to this photograph. It invites us to reflect on our own daily struggles and find solace in knowing that even creatures like Ben face challenges too. As we gaze upon this delightful scene captured by Mirrorpix, let us cherish the lighter moments life presents us with – reminding ourselves that laughter truly knows no bounds when it comes to bridging gaps between species.
