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
In this photograph, we witness a moment in aviation history as the Royal Saudi Air Force's Cessna F172 616 undergoes preparations for delivery at Hurn Airport in the mid-1960s. The image captures the essence of aeronautical engineering and the excitement of flight, as the sleek and agile Cessna aircraft takes center stage. The Cessna F172 Skyhawk, a single-engine, high-wing, fixed-gear airplane, was a popular choice for both civilian and military aviation applications during the 1950s and 1960s. Known for its versatility and affordability, the Skyhawk was widely used for training purposes, as well as for personal and business aviation. In this photograph, we see the Royal Saudi Air Force's Cessna F172 616 being readied for its journey to its new home in the Middle East. The aircraft, adorned with the distinctive Royal Saudi Air Force insignia, sits proudly on the tarmac, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of airport activity. The image evokes a sense of anticipation and adventure, as the Cessna 616 prepares to embark on its new mission with the Saudi Air Force. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when air travel was a more romantic and less commercialized endeavor. The simple elegance of the Cessna F172, combined with the open skies and the promise of new horizons, make for a captivating and timeless image. Overall, this photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of flight and the role that small, versatile aircraft like the Cessna F172 played in shaping the history of aviation. It is a reminder of the thrill and excitement that comes with the prospect of taking to the skies and exploring the world from a bird's eye view.
