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 showcases the aerial view of London Airport in 1925. It captures a significant moment in history, as it was London's first airport which opened its doors to the public in 1920. The airport came into existence by merging two World War I airfields, Waddon Aerodrome and Beddington Aerodrome. The image provides a mesmerizing birds-eye view of the airfield, with several biplanes scattered across the tarmac. These aircraft were at the forefront of aviation technology during that era. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this historical snapshot. Located in Croydon, England, this airport played an essential role in shaping British aviation and transportation during the early 20th century. Although it is not mentioned whether this specific location evolved into Heathrow Airport later on, one can't help but draw connections between these two iconic airports. As we gaze upon this photograph from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, we are transported back to a time when air travel was still relatively new and exciting. This image serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then while also paying homage to our rich aviation heritage.
