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.

Nature's Odd Couple - A Carrion Fly and the Vibrant Parasitic Beauty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Paul Williams, we witness a truly bizarre partnership between two unlikely companions. Here, a carrion fly finds itself irresistibly drawn to the magnificent Rafflesia pricei flower, perched high on Mount Kinabalu in Borneo. As our eyes are immediately drawn to the vibrant orange hues of the parasitic plant, we can't help but marvel at its striking beauty. The Rafflesia pricei stands out against its lush green surroundings like a beacon of nature's artistry. Its intricate petals seem to dance in harmony with the surrounding foliage. But what brings these two together? It is none other than the pungent aroma emitted by this floral wonder that entices our tiny winged friend. The carrion fly is lured by an irresistible scent reminiscent of decaying flesh – a feast fit for royalty in its world! This peculiar relationship serves as a reminder that nature always has surprises up her sleeve. While most flowers rely on sweet fragrances to attract pollinators, the Rafflesia pricei takes an unconventional approach and relies on deception instead. So next time you stumble upon an unexpected duo like this one, remember that even in nature's strangest encounters, there is always room for beauty and fascination.
