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.

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 the tranquil English countryside of Surrey, the remnants of a fierce battle between the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the German Luftwaffe came to a halt. On the 30th of August, 1940, during the height of the Battle of Britain, a Heinkel He-111K-5A bomber from the Luftwaffe met its end in a crash landing in a nearby field. The photograph captures the moment of discovery, as a policeman and a soldier carefully inspect the wreckage of the once formidable German aircraft. The Heinkel He-111K, a twin-engine, medium bomber, was a key component of the Luftwaffe's air fleet during World War II. Its menacing propellers and imposing exterior were a common sight in the skies above Europe. Yet, in this image, the mighty war machine lies crumpled and damaged, a testament to the tenacity and skill of the RAF's fighter pilots. The bent and twisted metal, the shattered glass, and the scattered debris are a stark reminder of the brutal reality of war. The policeman and soldier, dressed in their uniforms, stand in contrast to the chaos around them. Their determined expressions and methodical approach to the inspection speak volumes about their professionalism and the importance of gathering intelligence in the heat of battle. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, as the RAF's victory over the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain began to take shape. The Heinkel He-111K's crash landing in Surrey serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women on both sides of the conflict. The image, captured in 1940, is a powerful reminder of the past and the enduring legacy of the Second World War. It is a testament to the courage and resilience of those who fought, and a reminder of the importance of peace and unity in the face of adversity.
