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 from Science Photo Library captures a mesmerizing moment in the life of beluga whales. Set against the stunning backdrop of Canada's Arctic waters, a group of these magnificent creatures can be seen moulting during the summer months. The image showcases their white, glistening bodies as they roll and playfully interact with one another. Beluga whales are known for their migratory nature, and this photograph beautifully depicts their strong sense of community as they gather in a pod. As social animals, they engage in rubbing behaviors to maintain social bonds and remove dead skin during the moulting process. The cunningham inlet serves as an important estuary for these carnivorous marine mammals who primarily feed on fish. Belugas shed their old skin during moulting, revealing a fresh layer underneath. This natural phenomenon is not only essential for maintaining healthy skin but also allows them to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Delphinapterus leucas, commonly known as beluga whales or white whales, are highly intelligent cetaceans that captivate both scientists and wildlife enthusiasts alike. This remarkable print provides us with a glimpse into the enchanting world of these piscivores while highlighting the beauty and diversity found within our oceans' ecosystems.
