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 captures a significant moment in history - the transfer of carrier-borne planes from the United States to France in 1951. The image showcases the USS Langley, an Independence-class aircraft carrier, as it prepares to embark on its new journey under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program. With an air of collaboration and cooperation, this photograph symbolizes the strong bond between these two nations. The USS Langley, later renamed La Fayette (R96) by the French, stands proudly in all its glory. Its massive deck is lined with rows upon rows of propeller-driven airplanes ready for transport. These aircraft represent not only advanced technology but also a shared commitment to aviation and flight. As we gaze at this monochrome snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to a defining era - the 1950s. This image evokes nostalgia for a period characterized by progress and innovation. It reminds us of America's role as a global leader in transportation and defense during that time. The significance of this historic event cannot be overstated; it exemplifies mutual support between countries striving for peace and security. This remarkable artwork serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness across borders and continents, transcending language barriers through visual storytelling. Created by an unknown artist using art media techniques, this print collector's item preserves an important chapter in international relations while inviting viewers to reflect on past alliances that have shaped our present world order.
