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 image showcases the timeless beauty of a Douglas DC-3 airliner, captured by the skilled photographers at Aerofilms. The DC-3, identified by the registration number AFL03, gracefully emerges from the mist, with the rays of the sun shining through the clouds behind it. The DC-3 holds a significant place in aviation history, as it was one of the first airliners to enter civilian service in 1936, revolutionizing air travel and connecting people across vast distances. Its iconic silhouette and distinctive design continue to inspire awe and admiration. This photograph, prepared by Aerofilms for an undisclosed client, is a testament to the enduring allure of aviation and the power of the human spirit to conquer the skies. The Aerofilms Collection, now part of Historic England, preserves this rich history and offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the incredible advancements that have shaped our world.
