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 a remarkable Sunfish hybrid, resulting from the crossbreeding of a Bluegill and Pumpkinseed sunfish. Found in Lake Opinicon, Ontario, Canada, this unique fish exhibits an intriguing blend of traits from both species. The purpose behind breeding such hybrids lies in creating fish that possess the most desirable characteristics of their parent species. The image captures the beauty and diversity found within Canada's rich fauna. Underwater in its natural habitat, this stunning creature represents the wonders of nature and highlights the intricate world beneath our waters. As a member of the bony fish family, it exemplifies the fascinating realm of aquatic life. Lake Opinicon serves as an ideal location for aquaculture practices where these sunfish hybrids are bred. This process involves carefully selecting individuals with specific traits to produce offspring that inherit those desired qualities. Such efforts contribute to advancements in zoology and fisheries management. Photographed by Science Photo Library, this image offers a glimpse into North America's diverse wildlife while showcasing the results achieved through hybridization techniques used in commercial fishing lakes across Ontario. It is important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use or affiliation with any company but rather focuses on appreciating nature's wonders and scientific endeavors within zoological research.
