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 image, captured by renowned war artist G.H. Davis for the Illustrated London News in January 1940, depicts a pivotal moment in the skies above the North Sea during the early stages of World War II. The scene is set between British Bristol Blenheim bombers and German Messerschmitt 110 destroyer planes, engaged in fierce combat. The Messerschmitts, with their distinctive silhouettes and menacing shell guns, are shown in a coordinated attack maneuver, attempting to disrupt the Blenheim formation. One unfortunate Blenheim, its engine smoking, is seen being driven out of formation, leaving its crew vulnerable to further attack. Meanwhile, the wreckage of a Messerschmitt, having met an untimely end in the icy waters below, serves as a grim reminder of the brutal realities of aerial warfare. The British Royal Air Force (RAF) and the German Luftwaffe clashed frequently over the North Sea during this period, with both sides suffering heavy losses. This double-page spread from the Illustrated London News offers a compelling snapshot of the intense and often deadly air battles that characterized the early days of the Second World War.
