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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting close-up, we catch a glimpse into the secret slumber of a majestic Southern elephant seal.

Taken on location for the renowned BBC Frozen Planet series, this photograph transports us to South Georgia's mesmerizing landscape. As we marvel at this marine mammal's full-frame beauty, it becomes clear why these seals are often referred to as "polar teddy bears". The expressions on their faces reveal a sense of tranquility that can only be achieved during deep sleep. It's as if they have found the ultimate escape from reality in dreamland! With their impressive size and carnivorous nature, these pinnipeds command respect even while dozing off.

So take a moment to appreciate the serenity captured in this remarkable image. Let yourself be transported to the South Atlantic islands where wildlife thrives and dreams come alive. And who knows? Maybe you'll find inspiration for your own peaceful slumber amidst nature's wonders!
