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.

Leaf-cutter Ant - The Original Eco-Friendly Gardeners of Peru!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Mark Bowler, we witness the incredible work ethic and resourcefulness of leaf-cutter ants in the lush Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, Peru. These tiny but mighty insects are nature's very own landscapers! With their sharp mandibles and specialized mouthparts, these industrious hymenopterans expertly slice through vibrant green leaves to create intricate pathways within their underground colonies. It's like watching a miniature construction crew at work! These leafcutter ants have perfected the art of sustainable living long before it became trendy. By harvesting foliage from surrounding plants, they not only provide food for themselves but also contribute to nutrient cycling in the ecosystem. Their synchronized behavior is nothing short of awe-inspiring as they march tirelessly back and forth, carrying leaf fragments that can be several times their size! Talk about teamwork and determination. So next time you're struggling with your gardening chores or feeling overwhelmed by landscaping tasks, take a moment to appreciate these remarkable creatures who effortlessly demonstrate how it's done. Leaf-cutter ants truly deserve recognition as nature's original eco-friendly gardeners – an inspiration for us all!
