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 captures a heartwarming moment in the wilds of South Africa. The image showcases an adult bank cormorant, known scientifically as Phalacrocorax neglectus, diligently tending to its precious chick on Robben Island in the Western Cape. The adult bird stands tall and proud on its nest while cradling its fluffy offspring with utmost care. The pair forms a beautiful duo against the backdrop of their natural habitat, surrounded by reed cormorants and other aquatic fauna. It is fascinating to witness this intimate glimpse into avian biology and nesting behavior. The juvenile chick, still immature but full of potential, represents new life and growth within this vibrant ecosystem. Robben Island serves as a sanctuary for these magnificent creatures, offering them protection and ample resources to thrive. This photograph not only highlights the beauty of African wildlife but also emphasizes the importance of conservation efforts to preserve such delicate ecosystems. Peter Chadwick's skillful photography allows us to appreciate the intricate details of these bank cormorants' lives while reminding us of our responsibility to protect our planet's diverse fauna. This stunning image from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder that nature's wonders are worth cherishing and safeguarding for generations to come.
