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 a significant moment in the history of aviation. It showcases the forward fuselage part of the Airbus A300 B fatigue test airframe being transported to undergo extensive fatigue testing at VFW-Fokker's facility in Bremen, Germany. The year was 1972, and this crucial step followed the assembly of various sections at Aerospatiale's Toulouse works. The image portrays a cargo plane known as the "Super-Guppy" carrying this essential component with utmost care and precision. As it soars through the skies, one can't help but marvel at its sheer size and power. This picture perfectly encapsulates both the grandeur and technical prowess associated with the aeronautics industry.
