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.

Spot the Master of Disguise - European Plaice Blends Seamlessly with Sandy Hideout!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this mind-boggling close-up, we witness nature's ultimate camouflage artist at work. Meet the European Plaice, a ray-finned fish that has perfected the art of blending in with its surroundings. Captured by wildlife photographer Alex Hyde on the picturesque Isle of Mull in Scotland, this print reveals an astonishing sight. At first glance, it appears to be just another sandy beach scene. But look closer and you'll spot our sneaky protagonist – a European Plaice expertly camouflaged within the sand! With its intricate patterns and colors mirroring the grains beneath it, this flatfish is virtually invisible to unsuspecting prey or predators. This underwater wizardry showcases not only Mother Nature's creativity but also highlights how species adapt for survival. The plaice's ability to seamlessly merge into its environment ensures it can snatch up tasty morsels while remaining hidden from potential threats lurking nearby. So next time you're strolling along a sandy shore or snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, keep your eyes peeled for these masters of disguise. And remember, appearances can be deceiving - even when it comes to seemingly ordinary patches of sand!
