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 19th-century German engraving, titled "Balloon Ascent" transports us back in time to a quaint countryside setting. The print showcases a man standing on a dirt road, gazing up at the awe-inspiring sight of a hot air balloon ascending into the sky. Created by the talented artist Fritz Beinke, this detailed illustration captures the essence of late 19th-century daily life and wonder. The scene depicts a rural villager, possibly a peasant, taking pause from his daily activities to witness this extraordinary event. His expression reflects both curiosity and amazement as he witnesses the marvels of aviation unfold before him. The surrounding landscape exudes tranquility with its dirt road winding through fields and meadows. Beinke's meticulous engraving technique brings depth and texture to every element of this artwork – from the intricate details of the hot air balloon itself to the subtle play of light and shadow on the ground. This piece serves as an homage to early flight pioneers who dared to dream beyond earthly boundaries. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we are reminded that even in simpler times, human fascination with exploration and adventure knew no bounds. It is through artworks like these that we can appreciate how far aviation has come while cherishing our collective yearning for discovery that remains unchanged throughout history.
