17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 photograph taken on the 13th of December 1935, we witness a remarkable display of strength and teamwork at Croydon airport in England. The image captures a tiny tractor diligently hauling the colossal Handley Page air-liner, Horatius, towards the hangar after its successful flight from Paris. The landscape format allows us to appreciate the scale of both the aircraft and its humble transporter against the backdrop of an expansive runway. From behind, we see a lone male figure operating the tractor with unwavering determination, his back turned as he navigates this extraordinary task. This snapshot encapsulates not only two modes of transport - air and road - but also symbolizes progress and innovation during this era in Europe. The Handley Page Horatius stands as a testament to human ingenuity while showcasing advancements in air travel. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this archival print, emphasizing every detail captured by photographer A. Hudson. This historical moment reminds us that even monumental achievements require collective effort; it is through collaboration that great feats are accomplished. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at how far transportation has come since then. It serves as a reminder that our ability to overcome challenges knows no bounds when fueled by ambition and perseverance.
