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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a 'wooden' personality! This antlion knows how to strike a pose on this piece of wood in the Patras area of Greece. With its sleek profile and captivating gaze, it's no wonder this arthropod caught the attention of photographer Christian Ziegler. The Peloponnese region provided the perfect backdrop for this photo, taken in May 2009. Known for their incredible hunting skills, antlions are like the WWE wrestlers of the insect world. These neuroptera insects use their large jaws to create funnel-shaped traps in sandy soil, where they patiently wait for unsuspecting prey to fall into their clutches. It's safe to say that this particular antlion has mastered the art of camouflage as it blends seamlessly with its woody surroundings. Invertebrates may not be everyone's cup of tea, but there's something fascinating about these tiny creatures that play such an important role in our ecosystems. Thanks to Wild Wonders of Europe and Ziegler, we get a glimpse into the intricate world of Greek insects. So next time you're strolling through nature or even just admiring a simple piece of wood, keep your eyes peeled for hidden wonders like this photogenic antlion.
