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
In this print by Science Photo Library, we see a young boy completely engrossed in the wonders of nature. With a smile on his face and his eyes closed in pure bliss, he is seen holding a beautiful shell up to his ear. At just 11 years old, this child is experiencing the magic that lies within the depths of our oceans. As he listens intently, a sound emerges from the shell - one that resembles the crashing waves of the vast sea. This phenomenon occurs due to trapped air traveling through the intricate cavities of the shell. The boy's tanned skin reflects his time spent under the warm Mediterranean sun as he enjoys this peaceful moment at the beach. This image captures not only an innocent childhood activity but also showcases human curiosity and our innate connection with nature. The swirling pattern on the shell adds an element of visual intrigue to this serene scene. With its vibrant colors and joyful atmosphere, this print evokes feelings of happiness and relaxation. It serves as a reminder for us all to take moments out of our busy lives to appreciate life's simple pleasures and indulge in discoveries like these.
