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 photograph captures a pivotal moment in human history: the first Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) exploration on the surface of the Moon during the Apollo 15 mission on July 26, 1971. The image, taken at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany, showcases astronauts David R. Scott and James C. Irwin of the United States as they embark on their first Extra-Vehicular Activity (EVA) on the lunar surface. The Apollo 15 mission was the first of three missions in the Apollo program to use a Lunar Roving Vehicle, which allowed the astronauts to cover greater distances on the lunar surface than previous missions. The LRV, equipped with a television camera, allowed the world to witness the lunar exploration in real-time. In this photograph, Scott and Irwin are seen standing next to the LRV, with the desolate lunar landscape stretching out behind them. The astronauts' bulky spacesuits and helmets contrast sharply with the barren, rocky terrain. The American flag, planted firmly in the lunar soil, serves as a reminder of humanity's remarkable achievement in space exploration. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity, determination, and courage of the astronauts and the scientists and engineers who made the Apollo 15 mission possible. It is a historical image that continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world, reminding us of the incredible progress humanity has made in space exploration and the limitless potential for discovery that lies beyond our planet.
