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 showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a shoal of Purple Anthias fish, also known as Fairy Basslet fish (Pseudanthias tuka), gracefully swimming together on a vibrant coral reef. Taken in the tropical Indo-Pacific region, specifically off Sipadan, Malaysia, these stunning creatures thrive in depths of up to 30 meters below the ocean's surface. The Purple Anthias fish are renowned for their striking purple hues and delicate appearance. Their presence adds an enchanting touch to the already diverse marine life found in Malaysian waters. As bony fish belonging to the Pisces family, they play an essential role in maintaining ecological balance within this underwater ecosystem. Feeding primarily on small crustaceans, these social animals form large shoals that move synchronously through the crystal-clear waters surrounding Sipadan. The image perfectly captures their synchronized movements and highlights their collective strength as they navigate through intricate coral formations. This photograph is a testament to nature's wonders and serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve such fragile ecosystems. It invites us into an awe-inspiring world beneath the waves where colorful marine life thrives amidst breathtaking coral reefs.
