17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 delightful snapshot from January 1975, we are transported back to Calderpark Zoo, where an unlikely friendship between Ernest the Mississippi alligator and Mickey the mouse has blossomed. This humorous and unusual encounter captures the essence of unexpected connections in the animal kingdom. Ernest, a majestic reptile with his scaly armor glistening under the sunlight, seems to have found an unexpected companion in mischievous Mickey. The stark contrast between their sizes and species adds a touch of whimsy to this heartwarming scene. One can't help but chuckle at the sight of these two creatures side by side. The 1970s aesthetic is palpable in this photo print; it exudes nostalgia for a simpler time when visiting zoos was a popular pastime. It reminds us of those carefree days spent exploring nature's wonders and encountering unforgettable moments like Ernest and Mickey's peculiar bond. While some may consider mice as vermin, here we witness how even creatures labeled as such can find common ground with others who might be seen as their natural predators. It serves as a gentle reminder that friendships can transcend boundaries and expectations. This image encapsulates both cuteness and humor simultaneously—two qualities that make it impossible not to smile upon seeing it. Whether you're an animal lover or simply appreciate amusing snapshots from yesteryears, this photograph will surely bring joy to your day.
