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.

Ants and Aphids - A Dynamic Duo in Washington State Park!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Doug Wechsler, we witness a fascinating collaboration between nature's acrobats and tiny farmers. Meet the Acrobat ant (Crematogaster sp), skillfully tending to its precious aphid herd on a majestic white oak tree (Quercus sp) at Washington State Park, Pennsylvania. As if straight out of an insect circus, these agile ants perform daring feats while nurturing their prized aphids. With precision and grace, they navigate the intricate branches of the oak tree, ensuring their miniature livestock has access to sweet sap for sustenance. The symbiotic relationship between ants and aphids is truly remarkable. The ants provide protection from predators while also "milking" the aphids for honeydew – a sugary substance secreted by these plant-sucking insects. It's like having your own personal farm-to-table experience right there in the wild! This enchanting scene reminds us that even within the smallest corners of our world, incredible stories unfold every day. So next time you stroll through nature's wonders, keep an eye out for these industrious acrobat ants and their adorable aphid companions – it's a show you won't want to miss!
