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.

Lost in the Depths - A Greenland Shark's Underwater Odyssey with a Unwanted Hitchhiker
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, we witness an extraordinary moment frozen in time beneath the icy waters of Lancaster Sound. A majestic Greenland shark gracefully glides through the dark depths, unaware of the tiny intruder clinging to its body. Meet Ommatokoita elongata, a parasitic copepod that has found an unlikely home on this enigmatic creature. As our eyes are drawn to the mesmerizing scene, we can't help but imagine what thoughts might be racing through these fascinating beings' minds. Is the shark aware of its uninvited guest? Or is it simply lost in its own mysterious world? The image evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue as we ponder what lies beyond our human realm. It reminds us that even in the darkest moments, there may be a glimmer of hope – just like the faint light at the end of a tunnel. Trapped below layers of ice and surrounded by cold waters, both predator and parasite navigate their way through this harsh Arctic environment. The contrasting shades of grey create an ethereal ambiance, emphasizing their isolation from humanity above. Franco Banfi's stunning photograph captures not only nature's beauty but also highlights how interconnected life can be – even when faced with torment or disorientation. So let us marvel at this snapshot from Nature Picture Library and appreciate Mother Nature's ability to surprise us with her wonders hidden beneath our very noses.
