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
In this historic photograph, taken in 1927, Charles Augustus Lindbergh, the renowned American aviator, is seen receiving the prestigious Cross of the Legion of Honour from President Albert Lebrun (1871-1942) of France and the American Ambassador to France, Myron T. Herrick (1865-1930). The presentation took place in Paris, France, in recognition of Lindbergh's groundbreaking solo non-stop transatlantic flight from New York to Paris, which he had completed just a few months earlier. Lindbergh's achievement, which captivated the world, marked a significant milestone in aviation history. The young aviator had taken off from Roosevelt Field, Long Island, New York, on May 20, 1927, and landed in Le Bourget Field, Paris, on May 21, 1927. His journey covered a distance of approximately 3,610 miles (5,810 kilometers) in just 33 hours and 29 minutes. The Cross of the Legion of Honour, France's highest decoration, was awarded to Lindbergh in a grand ceremony held at the Quai d'Orsay, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The event was attended by thousands of people, including many dignitaries, who had gathered to celebrate Lindbergh's remarkable accomplishment. The presentation of the Cross of the Legion of Honour to Lindbergh symbolized the international recognition and admiration for his courage, skill, and determination. The photograph captures a proud and humbled Lindbergh, who stands between the French President and Ambassador Herrick, as they bestow the prestigious award upon him. The moment is a testament to the power of human achievement and the enduring bond between France and the United States.
