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 photograph captures the moment of historical significance as the Wright Brothers, Orville (left) and Wilbur (right), stand proudly before their aircraft in Le Mans, France on January 21, 1909. The American aviation pioneers had traveled to Europe to showcase their groundbreaking invention – the world's first successful powered airplane – and set new records for altitude and duration. Dressed in their flying gear, the brothers exude a sense of determination and accomplishment. Their innovative Flyer III aircraft, a three-axis controlled machine with a wing span of 12.3 meters, is visible in the background, ready for another demonstration. The Wright Brothers had already achieved the first controlled, sustained flight of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft on December 17, 1903, in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. However, their European journey marked a new chapter in aviation history, as they continued to push the boundaries of what was thought possible in flight. The 1900s were a time of rapid technological advancements, and the Wright Brothers' pioneering work in aviation forever changed the way we transported ourselves through the skies. Their achievements paved the way for the development of commercial air travel and military aviation, making them true pioneers in the field of air transportation. This photograph is a testament to their unwavering dedication and their transformative impact on the world.
