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 vintage photograph, taken in 1944, captures a pivotal moment during the US 9th Air Force's campaign in Europe during World War II. The image depicts a Douglas A-26 Invader bomber of the US Navy's Air Arm, moments after releasing its payload over a bridge on the Moselle River in Germany. The A-26 Invader was a twin-engine, medium bomber that played a crucial role in the US Army Air Forces' strategic bombing campaign against the Axis Powers. The bridge, a vital transportation link for the German military, was a prime target for the Allied forces. The successful bombing mission marked a significant step towards the eventual defeat of the Axis Powers in Europe. The Invader's crew, dressed in their flight gear, can be seen in the cockpit, focused intently on their mission. The image also reveals the devastating impact of the bombs on the bridge, with debris and smoke rising from the water below. The photograph is an official US Navy image, providing a rare and authentic glimpse into the intense and dangerous battles fought during World War II. The image is a poignant reminder of the bravery and determination of the soldiers and pilots who risked their lives to secure victory for the Allied forces. The Moselle River, a scenic and tranquil body of water under normal circumstances, is transformed into a battlefield, highlighting the global scope and intensity of the conflict. This vintage photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during a pivotal moment in world history.
