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.

Feathered Architect - Grey Heron Takes Up Construction in Cormorant Colony!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by photographer Florian Mollers, we witness a truly remarkable sight. A majestic Grey Heron, known for its elegant stature and graceful movements, is seen carrying a twig in its beak amidst a bustling cormorant colony on Oosterdijk in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. With the precision of an experienced builder, our avian architect seems determined to contribute to the ever-growing nest community. As it navigates through the sea of cormorants, one can't help but wonder if this heron has taken inspiration from its neighbors' elaborate nests or if it simply seeks to create a cozy abode for itself. The juxtaposition of these two bird species adds an element of surprise and intrigue to the scene. While cormorants are renowned for their diving skills and fishing prowess, here they find themselves sharing their space with an unexpected guest who brings sticks instead of fish! This enchanting photograph not only showcases nature's diversity but also highlights the fascinating behaviors that exist within our feathered friends' world. It serves as a gentle reminder that even in the animal kingdom, collaboration and innovation know no bounds. So let us marvel at this snapshot frozen in time – where birds become architects and twigs transform into building blocks – reminding us that nature always finds ways to surprise and delight us!
