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
In this evocative photograph, a construction crane towers over the newly completed barracks for airmen at the USAF 85th Air Depot Wing, Erding Air Base, Germany, in 1949. The crane's long arm reaches out to the sky, as if in defiance of the heavy clouds that loom ominously overhead. The massive structure of the crane contrasts sharply with the delicate wings of the aircraft in the foreground, a C-47 Skytrain and a T-6 Texan, parked neatly on the tarmac. The USAF 85th Air Depot Wing, located in Erding, Germany, was a vital part of the United States military presence in Europe during the post-World War II era. This photograph captures a moment of transformation and growth, as the base expands to accommodate the needs of the Air Force and its personnel. The newly constructed barracks, designed to house airmen, represent the investment and commitment of the US military in rebuilding Europe and maintaining a strong presence on the continent. The scene is filled with a sense of industry and purpose, as the airmen go about their daily routines, preparing for flights and maintaining the aircraft. The German landscape, with its rolling hills and verdant fields, provides a picturesque backdrop to the bustling air base. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of the US military and its role in shaping the post-war world. This photograph is an important document of the era, capturing the spirit of innovation, determination, and resilience that defined the US military during the late 1940s. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Air Force and its commitment to serving its country and its people.
