31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 charming print captured by Arthur Sidey, we are transported back to December 1981 at Twycross Zoo. The focal point of the image is Louis the Chimp, a beloved resident of the zoo, engrossed in an unexpected activity - checking his bingo numbers! Dressed in typical 1980s fashion with a pair of reading glasses perched on his nose, Louis appears both sophisticated and mischievous. With pen in hand, he attentively scans his bingo card, displaying an astonishing level of concentration for a primate. It's as if time stands still as Louis immerses himself in this playful game. His intelligent eyes seem to twinkle with excitement as he eagerly awaits each number call. The juxtaposition between human-like behavior and animal instincts is truly captivating. This endearing snapshot reminds us that even our closest relatives share moments of leisure and amusement akin to our own pastimes. Arthur Sidey skillfully captures this extraordinary scene from within the confines of Twycross Zoo, offering us a glimpse into the rich inner world of these fascinating creatures. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we can't help but wonder what other surprises lie behind those enclosures – perhaps more hidden talents waiting to be discovered among our fellow inhabitants on Earth.
