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 photograph depicts a Focke-Wulf 190 fighter-bomber aeroplane, now in the possession of the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the Second World War. The year was 1944, and the RAF had established a unique and top-secret operation: a "circus" of captured German aircraft, kept in flying condition for thorough testing and evaluation. The Focke-Wulf 190, a formidable German war machine, is seen here in all its glory, proudly displaying the Royal Air Force markings. The meticulous process of painting these markings on the captured aircraft was an essential part of the RAF's intelligence-gathering efforts. By studying the enemy's aircraft up close, the RAF gained valuable insights into their design, capabilities, and weaknesses. The team of skilled test pilots, who flew these German machines, played a pivotal role in the RAF's intelligence-gathering efforts. Their expertise allowed the RAF to understand the enemy's tactics and technologies, enabling them to adapt and counter the threat more effectively. The Focke-Wulf 190, with its powerful Junkers Jumo 213 engine, was a formidable adversary in the skies of Europe. Its capture represented a significant victory for the Allied forces and provided invaluable intelligence that contributed to the eventual outcome of the war. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity, resourcefulness, and determination of the RAF during the Second World War. It offers a unique glimpse into the world of captured enemy aircraft and the vital role they played in the war effort. The Focke-Wulf 190, once an enemy war machine, now stands as a symbol of the RAF's unwavering commitment to understanding and countering the threats of the time.
