17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 by Science Photo Library showcases the mesmerizing beauty of conch shells scattered along a rocky coast. The image captures the essence of nature's wonders, highlighting the intricate details and unique characteristics of these fascinating marine creatures. With their elegant spiral shapes and calcareous composition, these empty conch shells serve as a testament to the diverse wildlife found on islands such as the Bahamas. The photograph transports us to a serene beach setting, where we can almost feel the gentle breeze and hear the soothing sound of waves crashing against rocks. It invites us to contemplate the mysteries of life beneath the ocean's surface, reminding us that even in death, molluscs like these continue to contribute to our understanding of zoology and invertebrates. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that each shell holds its own story - an artifact shaped by centuries of natural processes. These gastropods' biomineralized structures made primarily from calcium are not only visually striking but also offer insights into their evolutionary journey. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this moment, allowing us to appreciate both the aesthetic appeal and scientific significance behind these conch shells. This print serves as a reminder that there is immense beauty waiting for us when we take a closer look at nature's creations.
