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
In this print captured by Bob Pearson of Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness the awe-inspiring moment when the Shuttle Discovery embarks on a historic space mission. On April 24,1990, with a crew of five onboard, this iconic spacecraft lifts off from its launch pad, carrying the remarkable Hubble Space Telescope. The image showcases the sheer power and determination behind mankind's quest for knowledge about our vast universe. As plumes of smoke billow beneath it, Discovery gracefully ascends into orbit, poised to unlock secrets hidden within the cosmos. The Hubble Space Telescope serves as an emblematic symbol in this photograph—a gateway to exploration beyond imagination. Its primary objective is to gather invaluable information about celestial bodies ranging from neighboring planets and stars to galaxies located billions of light-years away. This technological marvel has revolutionized our understanding of space and continues to provide groundbreaking insights into cosmic phenomena like quasars. Pearson's vertical composition adds depth and grandeur to this extraordinary scene. The juxtaposition between Earth-bound elements—such as the shuttle itself—and the boundless expanse above emphasizes humanity's relentless pursuit of discovery amidst infinite possibilities. This print encapsulates a pivotal moment in human history—an indelible reminder that our thirst for knowledge knows no bounds. It stands as a testament to both scientific achievement and mankind's unyielding spirit as we venture further into the mysteries that lie beyond our home planet.
