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, we are transported back to a momentous era in aviation history. The image captures the awe-inspiring sight of the Mayfly Unveiling, H M Airship No 1, as it slowly emerges from its hangar in Barrow. This magnificent airship was built by Britain in response to Germany's advancements in airship technology. The crowd gathered around the hangar eagerly awaits the maiden test-flight of this groundbreaking aircraft. Women and men alike stand side by side, their eyes fixed on the emerging marvel before them. The design of the airship is a testament to human ingenuity and innovation, showcasing how finance and technology can come together to create something truly extraordinary. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but feel a sense of anticipation for what lies ahead for this remarkable creation. It symbolizes not only transportation possibilities but also represents an important chapter in European history during World War I. The juxtaposition between England and Germany becomes apparent as these two nations compete fiercely to push boundaries further into uncharted skies. The sea behind serves as a reminder that these airborne vessels would soon conquer both land and water. Preserved through archival photography, this print allows us to witness firsthand how humanity responded with determination and resolve when faced with technological advances from across borders. It stands as a tribute to those who dared to dream big and paved the way for future generations of aviators worldwide.
