23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the Former Flight Booking Office at Brooklands in Surrey. Believed to be the world's first flight booking office, this architectural gem stands as a testament to the pioneering spirit that defined early aviation. The image beautifully showcases its grandeur and historical significance. The building itself is a striking blend of glass and timber, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication. Its listed status further emphasizes its importance within the realm of transportation history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to a period when airplanes were still considered marvels of engineering. Peter Felton's keen eye has expertly captured every intricate detail, allowing us to appreciate both the craftsmanship and ingenuity behind this structure. The play of light on glass panels creates a mesmerizing effect, while also highlighting the building's unique design. While it is impossible not to acknowledge its connection with commercial aviation, let us focus instead on celebrating its cultural value and contribution towards shaping our modern transport systems. This photograph serves as a reminder that progress often stems from humble beginnings – in this case, from within these very walls where dreams took flight over a century ago.
