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 captures the majestic presence of a Potato cod, accompanied by a brave scuba diver. Despite its misleading name, this fish is actually a grouper and can be found near reefs in the Indo-Pacific region. Feeding on an array of marine creatures such as fish, skate, crabs, and lobsters, the potato cod showcases its dominance over its territory. With adult individuals reaching an impressive length of 2 meters, this particular specimen was photographed in the breathtaking Great Barrier Reef located in Australia. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns displayed by both the fish and its surroundings create a mesmerizing underwater scene. The diver's presence adds scale to this image while highlighting the sheer size and power of this territorial creature. It is known that intruders who dare venture into its reef patch may face aggressive attacks from these formidable predators. This photograph not only showcases nature's wonders but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these delicate ecosystems. As we explore beneath the ocean's surface through activities like scuba diving, it becomes evident how vital it is to preserve these habitats for future generations to admire and appreciate.
