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 spirit of innovation and determination that defined the early days of British aviation and naval power in the pre-World War I era. The image features three distinguished Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) officers, including Lieutenant Longmore RN, Flight Commander Samson RN, and Lieutenants Grey RN, standing by a seaplane on the water's edge. Their determined expressions and smart uniforms exude a sense of confidence and readiness for action. In the background, an airship floats serenely above, while other aircraft, including monoplanes and biplanes, can be seen taking off or landing. The combination of sea and air power represented in this scene was a groundbreaking development in military strategy, and the RNAS was at the forefront of this technological revolution. The officers are dressed in protective gear, including helmets and goggles, reflecting the hazardous nature of early aviation. The men were pioneers, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in the skies and on the water. Their courage and skill would prove invaluable during the war that was to come. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and bravery of the men and women who served in the RNAS during the 1910s. It captures a moment in time when Britain's naval power was being transformed by the advent of air power, and when the RNAS was at the cutting edge of this new technology.
