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
This print takes us back to a pivotal moment in London Zoo's history, specifically March 1992. Meet Jake the Lion, the charismatic feline who became an emblem of hope during a time when this iconic institution faced the imminent threat of closure. Sponsored by none other than the Daily Mirror, one of Britain's most renowned newspapers, Jake symbolized resilience and unity in the face of adversity. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness nature at its finest as Jake stretches his mighty jaws wide open in a magnificent yawn. His untamed mane frames his regal face while his piercing eyes exude both strength and vulnerability. The image perfectly captures the essence of wildlife in all its raw beauty. Photographer Arnold Slater masterfully immortalizes this extraordinary creature against a backdrop that hints at an era long gone—the vibrant hues and nostalgic aura transport us straight into the heart of the 1990s. With every glance at this print, memories flood back from those who remember London Zoo's uncertain fate and how it was ultimately saved thanks to public support. Beyond being just another photograph on display, this image serves as a reminder that sometimes even seemingly insurmountable challenges can be overcome through collective determination and unwavering dedication. It is a testament to our shared responsibility to protect and preserve our precious natural world for future generations—a duty embodied by Jake himself.
