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 evocative photograph captures the intensity and determination of the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the pivotal moments of the Battle of Britain in 1940. The image features a Hawker Hurricane Mk 1, serial number N2479, parked on the tarmac with RAF Sergeant Higginson in white overalls and several officers in the foreground. The Hurricane, a second mark fighter aircraft, was a vital component of the RAF's defense against the relentless attacks of the German Air Force (Luftwaffe). The Battle of Britain, which raged from July to October 1940, was a turning point in World War II. The outcome of this aerial conflict would determine the fate of the United Kingdom, as a German victory could have led to an invasion. The RAF's courageous pilots, including those from 56 Squadron, fought valiantly to protect their homeland. In this photograph, the Hurricane's powerful engine and armament are visible, underscoring the aircraft's formidable capabilities. The RAF personnel in the scene, dressed in their uniforms and working diligently, demonstrate the unwavering commitment and dedication required during this critical period. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Battle of Britain and the crucial role the RAF played in the defense of the UK.
