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 photo print, we are transported back to the Vietnam War era. The image captures a moment of anticipation and tension as the second wave of combat helicopters from the 1st Air Cavalry Division soar above an isolated landing zone. Standing below, a radio telephone operator (RTO) and his commander anxiously await their arrival. The landscape is rugged and demolished, reflecting the harsh reality of war in South Vietnam's Bong Son Plain and An Lao Valley. As the two American soldiers stand with their backs turned towards us, we can sense their determination and resilience amidst the chaos surrounding them. The composition highlights not only the power of military aircraft but also emphasizes human roles in this conflict-ridden country. The helicopter serves as both a symbol of transportation and a weapon on this search-and-destroy mission known as Operation Pershing. Patrick Christain's skillful use of photography adds depth to this archival image, evoking emotions tied to nostalgia for those who lived through or studied this tumultuous period in history. It reminds us that war leaves no corner untouched, even in isolated zones like the one depicted here. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the bravery exhibited by these soldiers during one of America's most controversial wars. Their unwavering commitment to duty is palpable, leaving us with a profound appreciation for those who have served their country selflessly throughout history.
