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.

Percy the Penguin - The Quirky Resident of Drayton Manor Park Zoo
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this nostalgic print from September 1971, we catch a glimpse of Percy the Penguin at Drayton Manor Park Zoo in Tamworth, Staffs. Known for his peculiar habit of wandering off on his own, Percy has become somewhat of a local legend among the zoo staff. And if they ever need to locate him, there's one place they can always count on finding him - the gents toilets. With an inexplicable fascination for public urinals, Percy spends hours just standing around in these facilities. It's as if he finds solace and comfort amidst the hustle and bustle of human activity. Perhaps it reminds him of his natural habitat or simply satisfies his curious nature. This amusing snapshot captures not only Percy's idiosyncratic behavior but also highlights the unique bond between animals and humans at Drayton Manor Park Zoo. Visitors are often delighted by this charming penguin who adds an unexpected touch of humor to their zoo experience. The photographer Brian Randle skillfully immortalizes this moment with a blend of nostalgia and whimsy. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in unexpected places like public restrooms, extraordinary encounters can occur – even with a cottaging penguin named Percy!
