FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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.

The Americas at night
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a mesmerizing artwork that captures the beauty and energy of our planet from space. This computer-generated illustration showcases the Earth's urban areas illuminated by glowing lights, creating a stunning visual spectacle. The spherical shape of the globe emphasizes the interconnectedness of different regions across continents. In this image, we witness how human population and development have transformed the landscapes of North and South America into sprawling cities that never sleep. The vibrant lights represent bustling metropolises, where millions thrive under an endless sky. The artist behind this masterpiece, Mopic, skillfully portrays not only the American continent but also provides glimpses of Europe, Asia, and even parts of Africa in the background. It serves as a reminder that despite being separated by vast oceans and diverse cultures, we are all inhabitants sharing one home - Earth. However, amidst its breathtaking beauty lies a subtle message about light pollution and its impact on our environment. As some areas shine brightly with abundant artificial lighting, others remain engulfed in darkness or hidden beneath cloud cover. "The Americas at night" is more than just an artwork; it encapsulates our global community's collective journey through time and space. It invites us to reflect upon our responsibility towards preserving both natural wonders and cultural heritage for future generations to cherish.
