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 print, we are transported back to a historic moment in time - the inauguration day of the British Royal Air Force on April 1st, 1918. The photo captures a Bristol fighter aircraft from 22 Squadron soaring gracefully over Vert Galand aerodrome in France. As one gazes at this image, it is impossible not to feel the weight of significance that lies within its frame. This single snapshot represents a pivotal milestone in aviation history - the birth of the world's first independent air service. The RAF would go on to shape and revolutionize aerial warfare as we know it today. The composition of this photograph by Spencer Arnold is strikingly beautiful; its landscape format perfectly showcases both the vastness of the sky and the intricate details of the aircraft itself. The biplane, with its sleek design and powerful presence, symbolizes strength and determination. Arnold's use of black and white adds an element of nostalgia to this already evocative image. It transports us back to an era where bravery was tested daily amidst war-torn skies. This print serves as a poignant reminder not only of Britain's rich military heritage but also pays homage to all those who have served their country throughout history. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity, courage, and unwavering dedication towards protecting freedom from above.
