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 Fury - Arctic Skua Takes on the Wind and Wins!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness the incredible resilience of an Arctic skua as it braves the fierce winds of Spitsbergen, Svalbard. With its feathers ruffled and fluttering in all directions, this seabird showcases its unwavering determination to conquer nature's challenges. The image perfectly captures the essence of wild beauty found in Europe's northernmost regions. Against a backdrop of breathtaking landscapes, this portrait by Ole Jorgen Liodden transports us to a world where birds reign supreme. As we gaze upon this magnificent creature, one can't help but marvel at its adaptability and strength. The wind may blow with all its might, but our feathery protagonist stands firm - a true testament to survival against all odds. With each gust that tousles its plumage, the Arctic skua seems to defy gravity itself. Its wings spread wide open like sails catching wind on an adventurous voyage through icy waters. It is as if this bird has harnessed the very elements around it for an exhilarating dance with Mother Nature. So let us celebrate this extraordinary moment frozen in time – a reminder that even amidst harsh conditions, life finds a way to thrive. And perhaps take inspiration from our avian friend; when faced with adversity or strong headwinds in our own lives, let us remember that sometimes embracing them can lead us soaring towards new horizons!
