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.

Branch Buddies - Grey-headed Flying-foxes Show Us How to Hang Out in Style!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, a lively group of Grey-headed Flying-foxes takes center stage as they hang together on a branch over the picturesque Yarra River in Melbourne. These charismatic bats are part of a colony that found its new home by the riverbanks after being relocated from Melbourne's Royal Botanical Gardens in the early 2000s. During summer, these flying-foxes know how to make an entrance, with their numbers soaring to over 40,000 from just 5,000 during winter. Talk about a party! Their vibrant presence adds an enchanting touch to Yarra Bend Park in Kew, Victoria. Captured by talented photographer Doug Gimesy in April 2019, this cropped image showcases the beauty and diversity of Australia's wildlife. With their furry bodies and endearing faces, these mega bats remind us that even creatures of the night can have some serious style! As members of an endangered species facing threats and vulnerability, these Grey-headed Flying-foxes serve as ambassadors for conservation efforts across Australasia. So next time you find yourself near the Yarra River or any other natural habitat where they reside, keep your eyes peeled for these incredible animals hanging out together – it's truly a sight worth cherishing!
