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.

This print captures a momentous occasion in aviation history - the first successful crossing of the English Channel by air. In January 1785, Jean-Pierre Blanchard and Dr. John Jefferies made history as they soared through the skies from Dover to the forest of Guines, near Andres.
The image depicts their triumphant arrival in the lush greenery of Guines after their daring flight across one of the busiest waterways in Europe. The sight of their balloon gracefully descending into the forest is a testament to human ingenuity and determination.
Blanchard and Jefferies' pioneering journey marked a significant milestone in transport history, showcasing the power of innovation and pushing boundaries in aerial exploration. Their courage and skill paved the way for future advancements in aviation technology.
As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded of the bravery and spirit of adventure that drove these two men to achieve what was once thought impossible. This piece from Mary Evans Picture Library serves as a timeless tribute to Blanchard and Jefferies' historic feat, inspiring us to reach new heights and explore uncharted territories both on land and in air.
