Aeroplane Air Craft Air Plane Bi Plane
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 takes us back in time to the aftermath of a dramatic event that unfolded in March 1920. The image showcases a crashed AVRO504K aircraft resting on the tranquil waters of Southwark boating lake, while a group of curious individuals aboard a rowing boat investigate the wreckage. The scene is both haunting and mesmerizing, as it captures the juxtaposition between man-made machinery and the serenity of nature. The twisted metal frame of the biplane stands as a testament to human ingenuity and its vulnerability when faced with unforeseen circumstances. One cannot help but wonder about the events leading up to this fateful crash; what caused it? Were there any casualties? These questions remain unanswered, leaving room for speculation and imagination. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical value but also in its ability to transport us back to an era where aviation was still in its infancy. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then, both technologically and in terms of safety measures. Preserved within this Aerofilms Collection print, this snapshot from our past invites us to reflect upon our own progress while paying homage to those who paved the way for modern aviation.
