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
Talk about a master of disguise! This golf-ball sized Painted frogfish knows how to blend in with its surroundings better than any chameleon. Waiting patiently to ambush its prey, this clever little creature has disguised itself as an orange sponge, fooling even the most observant underwater explorers. Captured off the coast of Bitung in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, this vibrant and bizarre fish is a true marvel of nature. Its contrasting colors and alien appearance make it stand out against the dark seabed, while its vibrant orange hue adds a pop of color to the blue background. The Lembeh Strait in Molucca Sea serves as the perfect habitat for these unique creatures. With its rich biodiversity hotspot status and abundance of marine life, it's no wonder that photographers like Alex Mustard flock here to capture such incredible moments. So next time you're diving in the Pacific Ocean or exploring saltwater habitats in Southeast Asia, keep your eyes peeled for these amazing painted frogfishes. Just remember not to mistake them for actual sponges – they may look harmless but their predatory skills are second to none! This print from Nature Picture Library is sure to add some excitement and intrigue to any space. Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast or simply appreciate Mother Nature's creativity, this image will transport you straight into the depths of Indonesia's underwater world.
