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 from 1975, the powerful Sikorsky CH-53A Stallion helicopter with the identification number 153302 (msn 65071, unit code MS, call-sign 484) of the United States Marine Corps is seen at Naval Air Station North Island, near San Diego, taking part in an air display. This iconic helicopter, manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, was a workhorse of the US military, known for its impressive lifting capacity and versatility. The CH-53A Stallion's four powerful engines are prominently displayed in this image, with their traction belts and lines taut, ready for action. The helicopter's imposing size is further emphasized by its proximity to a line-up of vintage vehicles, including a 1928 Worcester Rally Duke, a 1917 Fowler steam tractor, and an unidentified Ruston Proctor general-purpose tractor. Among the other vintage vehicles are a 1914 Aveling and Porter ground class convertible, a 1932 Garrett tractor with registration number 32981, and a BJ3282 Norfolk tractor. The contrast between the sleek, modern helicopter and the antique vehicles creates a striking tableau, transporting us back in time. The CH-53A Stallion was built in 1958 and was a compound helicopter, meaning it used both a piston engine and a turboshaft engine to generate lift. Its impressive specifications included a maximum speed of 171 mph and a maximum range of 515 miles. With its powerful engines and impressive capabilities, the Sikorsky CH-53A Stallion was a formidable presence on the battlefield and a marvel of engineering. This photograph captures a moment in history when this iconic helicopter took to the skies alongside some of the most significant vehicles of the past.
