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 from Science Photo Library showcases the exquisite beauty of Flatbud pricklypoppy flowers (Argemone munita) in their natural habitat. Set against a backdrop of the American desert, these delicate white blossoms are adorned with beetles gracefully perched on their petals, creating a mesmerizing scene. However, beneath their enchanting appearance lies an intriguing secret. The Flatbud pricklypoppy plant contains toxic alkaloids, making it potentially dangerous to consume. Surprisingly though, this poisonous characteristic has found its place in traditional medicine as an emetic - a substance that induces vomiting. Native to North America and specifically photographed in the United States, this botanical wonder is not only visually stunning but also holds significant importance in biological research. Its annual nature and wildflower status make it a subject of interest for botanists and zoologists alike. The presence of beetles on these flowers adds another layer of fascination to this image. These insects play a crucial role in the reproduction process by aiding pollination, highlighting the intricate relationship between flora and fauna within ecosystems. Science Photo Library's expert capture allows us to appreciate both the aesthetic allure and scientific significance of this photograph without delving into commercial use or any specific company details.
