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 United States Air Force's (USAF) Stroukoff YC-134 52-1627, a groundbreaking aircraft that graced the tarmac of Naval Air Station Moffett in 1959. Originally delivered to the USAF as a YC-123B, this aircraft underwent significant modifications by Stroukoff Aircraft Corporation, transforming it into the innovative YC-134. The YC-134 was initially based at Trenton Air Force Base before being transferred to Edwards Air Force Base for extensive testing. Subsequently, it was sent to Fairchild Air Force Base for trials with the J44 jet boost system. During this period, the aircraft was outfitted with new Wright R-3350-89A engines and boundary layer control systems. However, it did not receive the Pantobase landing gear, which was a distinctive feature of later versions of the Stroukoff YC-134. The 1950s, a decade of significant advancements in aviation technology, saw the emergence of this remarkable aircraft. The YC-134 represented a significant step forward in military transport capabilities, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in aircraft design. This photograph captures a moment in time when the future of military aviation was being shaped, as the YC-134 stood proudly on the runway, ready for its next mission.
