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
Bluebird: A Glimpse of Triumph Amidst Nature's Fury". This print captures a defining moment in the history of speed racing. Dated 16th May 1963, it showcases Donald Campbell's iconic racing car, Bluebird, poised against the backdrop of a radiant sun on the salt flats of Lake Eyre in Australia. The silhouette of this sleek machine evokes a sense of power and determination. However, this image also tells a tale of resilience and unforeseen obstacles. It was taken during an attempt to break the land speed record, which unfortunately had to be called off due to unexpected floodwaters. Despite being thwarted by nature's forces that day, Bluebird stands tall as a symbol of human ambition and innovation. The black and white composition adds an air of timelessness to this archival piece. With no people present in the frame, attention is solely focused on Bluebird itself – its streamlined design representing both technological advancement and man's relentless pursuit for excellence. This photograph transcends mere documentation; it encapsulates themes such as sport, transportation, finance, and even our connection with the natural world. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of Donald Campbell's daring spirit but also how adversity can shape our journey towards success. Incorporating this remarkable print into your collection will undoubtedly infuse any space with inspiration while honoring one man's quest for greatness behind the wheel - Donald Campbell and his legendary Bluebird.
