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
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of determination and resilience during the Berlin Airlift of 1949. The scene is set at the Headquarters of the USAF 85th Air Depot-Wing at Erding Air Base in Germany. In the foreground, wooden crates are stacked high and open, their contents visible to the eager crowd. The crates are a testament to the relentless efforts of the US Air Force to deliver essential supplies to the people of West Berlin, who were isolated from the rest of West Germany due to the Soviet blockade of the city. The backdrop of the photograph is a bustling airfield, with planes and helicopters in various stages of takeoff and landing. The aeroplanes, with their powerful engines and distinctive markings, are a symbol of the aerial bridge that kept West Berlin alive during this critical time. The flightline is a hive of activity, with ground crew members scurrying around, ensuring that the supplies are loaded efficiently and effectively. The photograph also highlights the international cooperation that was crucial to the success of the Berlin Airlift. Allied forces from various countries, including the United States, Great Britain, France, and Canada, worked together to keep the city supplied. The German population, who are not visible in the photograph, were the true heroes of this story, enduring the hardships of the blockade with courage and fortitude. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the power of human resilience and the importance of international cooperation in times of crisis. It is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the men and women who worked tirelessly to keep the people of West Berlin alive during the Berlin Airlift. The wooden crates in the open may have been a simple symbol of the supplies being delivered, but they represented so much more – hope, determination, and the unwavering commitment to freedom and democracy.
