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
This print by Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of lichens, highlighting their unique symbiotic relationship with nature. Lichens are fascinating organisms that result from a mutualistic association between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria. In this image, we witness these remarkable life forms flourishing on a basalt rock, creating an enchanting tapestry of colors and textures. The photograph captures the harmonious coexistence between the fungal hyphae and algal cells within the lichen structure. The fungus provides a protective environment for the alga or cyanobacterium to thrive while benefiting from its photosynthetic capabilities. This extraordinary partnership allows lichens to colonize diverse habitats, including rocks, trees, and even harsh environments like deserts or Arctic tundra. The contrasting hues of green, yellow, orange, and gray in this print reveal the diversity of lichen species present in nature. Each patch represents a distinct combination of fungal and algal partners working together to survive and adapt to their surroundings. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, lichens play crucial roles in ecosystems as pioneers during primary succession processes. They help break down rocks into soil through chemical weathering while providing shelter for small organisms like insects or spiders. Through this mesmerizing image print from Science Photo Library, we gain insight into the intricate world of lichens - showcasing not only their inherent beauty but also emphasizing their vital role as indicators of environmental health and resilience within our natural landscapes.
