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.

VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage black and white map highlighting the Royal Air Force (R. A. F. ) West African Flight covering 12, 000 miles. The flight path includes locations such as El Obeid, Ouagadougou, Accra, Freetown, Tamacunda, and Bathurst. It indicates that the route was flown to schedule by 216 (B. T. ) Squadron with Vickers "Victoria" troop carriers. The image also features illustrations of two airplanes flying over the outlined path across Africa. At the bottom of the image is a mention of Vickers (Aviation) Limited Weybridge. This map likely served both as an informational piece about this specific R. A. F operation and possibly as promotional material for Vickers aircraft during that era. The map itself shows various countries in North and West Africa with some labeled in English or their colonial names at that time—for instance, Italian Libya—reflecting historical geopolitical boundaries which have since changed.
