31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 showcases a certified plate proof of the 65c "Graf Zeppelin" over Atlantic Ocean stamp from 1930. Produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, these plate proofs are the final printed proofs before mass production. Each unique plate proof bears approval signatures and dates, making them invaluable to postal scholars seeking production information. The plate margin inscriptions on this particular proof reveal important details such as guidelines, plate numbers, and initials of the siderographer who created the plate. With its striking green color scheme, this stamp depicts a zeppelin soaring majestically over the vast Atlantic Ocean. Dating back to the thirties in America, this piece represents an era when air transport was gaining prominence as a mode of communication and transportation. The intricate engraving work on this postage stamp exemplifies both artistic craftsmanship and technical precision.
