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 print captures a piece of history from the skies above Britain during World War I. The image showcases a German Zeppelin's observation car, suspended beneath the airship and connected by a telephone wire to allow the crew to view the ground below while keeping their vessel hidden at a great height. This aluminium observation car was part of an exhibition featuring wreckage collected from various dirigibles across Britain, offering a glimpse into the technology and tactics used during this tumultuous time.
The photograph provides a rare insight into the ingenuity and innovation of early aviation, highlighting the strategic importance of aerial reconnaissance in warfare. The meticulous detail captured in this image transports viewers back to 1916, when these massive airships dominated the skies as both marvels of engineering and instruments of destruction.
As we gaze upon this historical artifact on display for public viewing, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice of those who served aboard these formidable flying machines. This print serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era when air power was still in its infancy but already playing a crucial role in shaping military strategy.
