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.

Love Stings - The Ultimate Game of Hard-to-Get in the Grey Seal Kingdom!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Michael Hutchinson, we witness a hilarious and somewhat relatable scene unfolding on the sandy shores of Lincolnshire, UK. Meet our stars of the show – a golden male and female Grey Seal duo, engaged in an intense battle of love and rejection. As the waves crash against the coast line, these pinnipeds find themselves entangled in a classic mating behavior standoff. Our persistent male seal is desperately trying to win over his disinterested female companion. With his adorable puppy-dog eyes and gaping mouth wide open (perhaps singing her a romantic serenade?), he's pulling out all the stops to impress her. However, it seems that this feisty lady isn't easily swayed! She stands firm with an air of nonchalance as she playfully rejects his advances time after time. Who knew seals could be so picky? With their adult-sized bodies splashing around in shallow waters, these British beach dwellers are proving that even in nature, courtship can be both aggressive and comical at once. So next time you're feeling rejected or playing hard-to-get yourself, just remember - even seals have their fair share of dating dramas!
