Toy. Childs toy with sucker and spring base. Pushing down firmly attaches the sucker to a flat surface so that when its suction finally fails the spring releases the toy into the air. In this way potential energy stored in the spring is converted into kinetic energy

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 from Science Photo Library showcases a delightful toy that brings back fond memories of childhood play. The image features a plastic frog-like figure with a spring base and an attached sucker. When firmly pushed down, the sucker adheres to any flat surface, creating anticipation for the inevitable moment when its suction will fail. What makes this toy truly fascinating is how it ingeniously converts potential energy into kinetic energy. As the spring stores potential energy while being compressed, it patiently waits for release. Once the suction weakens or fails completely, the stored potential energy is unleashed, propelling the toy into mid-air with exuberance. This single object represents both familiarity and novelty simultaneously. It reminds us of common toys we once cherished as children while also intriguing us with its unique mechanism. Its vibrant colors and playful design make it visually appealing to all ages. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this mesmerizing moment in time through their lens, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the aesthetics but also the scientific principles at play here. This photograph serves as a reminder of how even seemingly simple objects can possess hidden wonders waiting to be explored and understood by curious minds.
