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 heartwarming snapshot from 1976, we witness a tender moment between Salome, the adorable baby gorilla, and her dedicated caretakers at London Zoo. Tipping the scales at an impressive 8lbs 12ozs during a routine checkup, Salome's growth is closely monitored to ensure her well-being. Born on July 16th of that year, Salome faced an unfortunate circumstance when her mother Lomie began neglecting her. However, thanks to the unwavering commitment of zookeeper Ron Smith and his wife, she found solace in their nurturing hands. This photo captures the essence of their love and dedication as they hand-rear this precious little gorilla. The X-ray machine in the background serves as a reminder of the meticulous care provided by London Zoo's staff. Every aspect of Salome's health is meticulously examined to guarantee she thrives under their watchful eyes. This image not only showcases the incredible bond between humans and animals but also highlights the crucial role zoos play in conservation efforts for endangered species like gorillas. Through these compassionate acts of kindness towards creatures great and small, we are reminded that every life deserves protection and care. Freddie Reed beautifully captures this timeless moment through his lens, immortalizing Salome's journey into adulthood while shedding light on our responsibility as stewards of nature.
