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 from Science Photo Library showcases a mesmerizing sight of Steller's sea lions, a rare and endangered species, basking in the warm sunlight. The image captures a group of these magnificent creatures, known for their impressive size and distinct features. With their sleek bodies and eared seals, they are true marvels of nature. Native to North America, particularly Alaska, Steller's sea lions are renowned for their carnivorous diet primarily consisting of fish. This piscivorous behavior is evident as they lie lazily on the rocky shorelines, taking a break from their underwater hunting expeditions. The photograph beautifully highlights the sexual dimorphism present among these marine mammals. Males can be easily distinguished by their larger size compared to females. This striking contrast adds an extra layer of intrigue to this already fascinating scene. As an endangered species facing numerous threats in its natural habitat, including human activities and climate change impacts on oceanic ecosystems, capturing such moments becomes even more significant. It serves as a poignant reminder that we must strive to protect and conserve these incredible animals for future generations. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an awe-inspiring visual masterpiece with this print – showcasing the beauty and vulnerability of our planet's wildlife without any commercial intentions but purely driven by scientific curiosity and appreciation for nature's wonders.
