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 determination and achievement during the US Army Air Corps Advanced Flying School Graduation Parade held at Turner Field in Albany, Georgia, in 1941. The image is a poignant reminder of the pivotal role the United States played in World War II, as young men completed their training to become pilots and air crew members for the Army Air Forces. The graduates, dressed in their crisp uniforms and adorned with insignia, proudly march in formation, carrying the American flag and other regimental colors. The sight of the flags fluttering in the wind against the clear blue sky adds a sense of grandeur and importance to the occasion. The backdrop of Turner Field, with its lush greenery and well-manicured grounds, serves as a stark contrast to the imposing presence of the warplanes in the background. These aircraft, which include transport planes and advanced trainers, symbolize the cutting-edge technology that the US military employed during the war. The Graduation Parade marked the culmination of months of rigorous training for these young men, who were preparing to join the front lines and contribute to the Allied effort in Europe and the Pacific. The photograph captures a moment of pride and accomplishment, as these future aviators celebrate their achievements and look forward to their next mission. This historical image, taken during the 1940s, offers a unique glimpse into the past and sheds light on the sacrifices and dedication of the men and women who served during World War II. It is a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination that defined the era and continues to inspire generations to come.
