FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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.

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 showcases the head of a common grass snake, scientifically known as Natrix natrix. Found in Norfolk, England, this non-venomous reptile primarily feeds on frogs, toads, and newts. The intricate details captured in this image allow us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of nature's creations. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the snake's forked tongue, which serves as a remarkable sense organ used for detecting prey. As it flicks its tongue outwards into the air, tiny particles carrying scent molecules are collected and then brought back into its mouth where they come into contact with a specialized sensory organ called Jacobson's organ. This extraordinary adaptation enables these snakes to effectively smell and locate their next meal. With its piercing eyes and sleek scales glistening under natural light, this garden-dwelling creature exemplifies the wonders of wildlife photography. Its slender body perfectly adapted for slithering through foliage further emphasizes its role within ecosystems. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional piece that not only highlights the fascinating world of zoology but also reminds us of our interconnectedness with all living beings. Let this mesmerizing image serve as a reminder to cherish and protect our fragile natural environment for future generations to marvel at such incredible creatures like this common grass snake.
