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 evocative photograph captures the final moments of United States Navy Douglas A3D-2P Skywarrior 144847 (msn 12093, unit code PP, call sign 933) as it flew with VAP-61 over Quang Binh Province in North Vietnam on 1 January 1968. The Skywarrior, a twin-engine propeller-driven all-weather attack aircraft, was serving with VCP-63 at the time. However, during this mission, the aircraft was unfortunately hit by anti-aircraft artillery (AAA). Despite the damage, the crew managed to fly the aircraft for approximately 30 miles off the coast of North Vietnam before crashing. Tragically, all three crew members were killed in the incident. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the risks and sacrifices made by the United States Navy personnel during the Vietnam War.
