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 photograph captures the moment when Hubert Latham, a pioneering aviator, piloted his Antoinette monoplane in the historic skies of Blackpool, England during the first officially recognized aviation meeting to take place in Britain. The event, known as the Blackpool Flying Week, unfolded in October 1909, marking a significant milestone in the development of aviation in the country. Latham's Antoinette monoplane, a single-seat, single-engine aircraft, was a marvel of engineering at the time. In this image, Latham is seen preparing for takeoff against the backdrop of the bustling Blackpool airfield. With winds gusting at an impressive 40 mph, Latham's determination and skill were put to the test. Despite the challenging conditions, Latham successfully took off and covered an impressive 8 miles in just 11 minutes, reaching speeds of almost 70 mph. This remarkable achievement not only showcased the capabilities of the Antoinette monoplane but also solidified Latham's reputation as a daring and skilled aviator. The Blackpool Flying Week marked the beginning of a new era in aviation history, paving the way for further advancements in aircraft design and technology. This photograph serves as a testament to the courage and innovation of early aviators like Hubert Latham, who pushed the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of flight.
