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.

Who Needs a Shovel? Yellowhead Jawfish Masters the Art of Sand Spitting!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Alex Mustard, we witness the incredible talent of a Yellowhead jawfish as it digs its burrow in the crystal-clear waters of East End, Grand Cayman. With finesse and precision, this vibrant ray-finned fish showcases its unique ability to spit out sand with remarkable force. As if defying gravity itself, our little underwater architect effortlessly propels tiny grains of sand from its mouth while meticulously crafting its cozy abode. Who needs a shovel when you have such an ingenious technique at your disposal? With every expelled grain creating mesmerizing patterns in the water, it's hard not to be amazed by nature's ingenuity. This tropical wonderland is home to countless biodiversity hotspots, and our industrious jawfish is just one example of the fascinating animal behavior found beneath these turquoise waves. The Caribbean Sea has always been renowned for its stunning marine life, but witnessing firsthand how creatures like the Yellowhead jawfish adapt and thrive adds another layer of appreciation for these enchanting ecosystems. So next time you find yourself on sandy shores or exploring underwater wonders, keep an eye out for these talented diggers – they might just inspire you to embrace your inner artist and try spitting some sand yourself!
