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
This print takes us back in time to the year 1925, capturing a remarkable moment of aviation history. The Vickers flying boat Southampton is poised for takeoff, its powerful engines ready to propel it into the skies above. This iconic aircraft, with its distinctive biplane design, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and pioneering spirit of early aviation. In this landscape composition, we see a male and female figure standing at the back of the flying boat, gazing intently at the spectacle before them. Their presence adds a sense of scale and human connection to this awe-inspiring machine. As they watch in anticipation, one can only imagine their excitement and wonderment at witnessing such an incredible feat. The contrast between the sleek lines of the aircraft against the calm waters below creates a striking visual juxtaposition. It serves as a reminder that these flying boats were not only masters of flight but also adept watercrafts capable of landing on lakes or open seas. With meticulous attention to detail captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images photographers, every element in this image tells a story - from the intricate engineering marvels that made air travel possible to those who marveled at its possibilities from afar. This stunning print invites us into an era where dreams took flight and pushes us to reflect on how far we have come since then while honoring those who paved our way towards modern air transport innovation.
