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 captures the awe-inspiring moment when the US Space Shuttle Columbia gracefully ascends into the vastness of space. Taken on 18 October 1993 at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, this image showcases the shuttle's reflection shimmering in a serene marsh, creating an ethereal and surreal atmosphere. As flames erupt from its powerful engines, propelling it towards new frontiers, Columbia carries a courageous crew of seven individuals who are embarking on a remarkable journey. Their mission: to conduct groundbreaking microgravity experiments in Spacelab Life Sciences-2 during their scheduled two-week stay in orbit. Photographer Bruce Weaver skillfully immortalizes this historic event with his lens, capturing not only the sheer magnitude of human technological achievement but also highlighting our harmonious relationship with nature. The juxtaposition of fire and water symbolizes humanity's ability to conquer challenges while respecting and coexisting with our environment. This photograph serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and exploration beyond Earth's boundaries. It reminds us that even amidst great scientific advancements, we must remain mindful of preserving our planet for future generations. Through this visual masterpiece by Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are invited to reflect upon both the wonders of space travel and our responsibility as stewards of Earth.
