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 19th-century lithograph takes us back in time to the era of aerial exploration and adventure. The poster, promoting "Aerial Voyages over London" transports us to a world where air travel was still a novelty and an awe-inspiring spectacle. The vibrant colors of this print bring to life the excitement and wonder that must have surrounded these aerial voyages. In the center, we see a magnificent gas balloon with its intricately designed basket, ready to take passengers on an unforgettable journey through the skies above London. The image showcases a panoramic viewing platform attached to the balloon, offering passengers an unparalleled vantage point from which they can marvel at the sprawling city below. Ropes tethering the balloon create a sense of static anticipation before takeoff, while also ensuring safety during flight. Located in Ashburnham Park Arena, this scene captures not only the thrill of flight but also highlights how leisure activities were evolving during this period. It is fascinating to imagine what it must have been like for those lucky enough to experience such an extraordinary mode of transport. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of how far technology has advanced since then. Yet, there remains something magical about these early attempts at conquering the sky – reminding us that even in our modern age, there is still room for dreams and imagination.
