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
This photograph showcases the Laister-Kauffman TG-4A glider, specifically NC46324 and affectionately known as Yankee Doodle 2, as it awaits its next flight at a gliding club in the United States during the 1950s. The TG-4A, a model manufactured by the Laister-Kauffman Aircraft Company, was initially used by the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) during World War II. After a brief military career, the majority of the 75 TG-4A gliders produced found a new lease on life within the thriving gliding clubs across the US. The TG-4A, also recognized as the LK-10 model, was a two-seat, high-performance sailplane that offered an exhilarating gliding experience. Its sleek design and advanced engineering made it a popular choice among aviation enthusiasts. The post-war era saw a surge in interest in recreational aviation, and the TG-4A became a staple in the gliding community. In this image, the TG-4A sits proudly on the grass, its wings gleaming in the sunlight, as it readies itself for another adventure. The dedication and passion of the gliding community are evident in the meticulous care taken in preparing this historic aircraft for its next flight. The Laister-Kauffman TG-4A, NC46324, continues to embody the spirit of innovation and adventure that defined its time, making it an enduring symbol of aviation history.
