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
This print showcases the majestic beauty of Manta rays, specifically the world's largest ray species, Manta birostris. With a remarkable length of up to eight meters and weighing an astonishing 3,000 kilograms, these magnificent creatures dominate the underwater realm. The photograph was taken off the enchanting Raja Ampat Islands in West Papua, Indonesia. Bathed in warm sunlight filtering through the crystal-clear waters, this image captures a moment frozen in time. The underbelly of the Manta ray is on full display, revealing its transparent biology as it gracefully glides beneath the surface. Its sleek body and intricate patterns mesmerize viewers with their natural elegance. Found predominantly in western Atlantic regions, these gentle giants primarily sustain themselves by feasting on plankton but are known to indulge in small fish as well. Their presence adds vitality to marine ecosystems while exemplifying nature's delicate balance. The photograph not only highlights the biological marvels that inhabit our seas but also serves as a testament to Southeast Asia's rich biodiversity. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring capture from below, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect and preserve these precious marine treasures for generations to come.
