23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 photograph captures the aftermath of war as damaged airplanes are being repaired at a plant in France during World War I. Taken around 1916, the image showcases the resilience and determination of both men and machines during this tumultuous period. In sepia tones, the photo exudes an early sense of nostalgia, transporting us back to a time when aviation was still in its infancy. The French workers can be seen diligently working on these wounded aircraft, their expertise evident in every movement. With focused expressions and skilled hands, they strive to restore these planes to their former glory. The scene is filled with remnants of destruction - twisted metal frames, torn wings, and shattered propellers - serving as stark reminders of the brutal reality faced by pilots who risked their lives for their countries. Yet amidst this wreckage lies hope; hope that through repair and dedication, these once-broken machines will take flight again. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of the sacrifices made during World War I but also of humanity's ability to rebuild and persevere even in times of great adversity. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and unwavering spirit that propelled aviation forward into a new era.
