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 by Mathieu Meur captures a mesmerizing moment in the underwater world of Cenderawasih Bay, West Papua, Indonesia. In this vertical image, we witness the sheer grandeur and vulnerability of a magnificent creature - the whale shark. The focal point of the photograph is a massive whale shark gracefully swimming amidst fishing nets, delicately sucking at them for scraps of fish. Its mouth wide open, showcasing its impressive filtration system that allows it to feed on tiny organisms effortlessly. The vibrant colors and clarity of the image bring out every detail of this gentle giant's unique patterned skin. As we delve into this snapshot from nature's realm, we are reminded not only of the beauty but also the fragility of our marine ecosystems. The presence of fishing nets hints at human intervention and highlights how these creatures interact with man-made structures in their search for sustenance. This powerful image serves as a visual testament to both the wonders and challenges faced by marine life in Southeast Asia. It urges us to reflect upon our impact on vulnerable species like whale sharks while marveling at their majestic existence beneath the surface. Mathieu Meur has skillfully captured an extraordinary moment that invites viewers to appreciate nature's diversity and consider our responsibility towards its preservation.
