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 Schleicher ASW-20 N54JH-4S, a single-seat, 15m-class high-performance sailplane, gracefully parked at Husbands Bosworth Airfield during a UK National Gliding Competition in the late 1970s or early 1980s. The Schleicher ASW-20, a German-designed glider, was renowned for its exceptional aerodynamics and agility, making it a favorite among competitive glider pilots. The image captures the essence of the competition, with the ASW-20's sleek lines and vibrant colors contrasting against the lush green grass of the airfield. The pilot, focused and determined, is seen adjusting the wingtip of the sailplane, ensuring it is perfectly aligned for the next flight. The backdrop of clear blue skies and white fluffy clouds adds to the serene and picturesque scene. The UK National Gliding Competition was an annual event that attracted pilots from all over the country to test their skills against one another. The competition provided an opportunity for pilots to showcase their abilities, learn from one another, and push the limits of their sailplanes. The Schleicher ASW-20 N54JH-4S, with its advanced design and impressive performance, was a formidable contender in these competitions. This photograph is a beautiful representation of the passion and dedication of glider pilots, as they strive for perfection in the air, and the camaraderie and excitement of the gliding community.
