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 striking photograph captures the United States Navy's Grumman C-2A Greyhound aircraft, specifically identified as 152789 (msn, base code RG, call sign 404), of the fleet logistics support squadron VRC-50. The image is believed to have been taken around 1970. The Grumman C-2A Greyhound is a twin-engine, turboprop transport aircraft, designed and manufactured by Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation for the United States Navy and Marine Corps. It was primarily used for the transport of cargo and passengers between ships at sea and naval bases. The Greyhound's distinctive features include its high-wing configuration, T-tail, and large cargo door. Its versatile design allowed it to operate from short and unimproved runways, making it an essential asset for naval aviation. The aircraft's twin engines, located on the rear fuselage, provide ample power for short takeoffs and landings. The United States Navy's VRC-50, also known as the "Rawhides," was one of the squadrons that operated the Grumman C-2A Greyhound. The squadron was based at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego, California, and provided logistical support to the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The squadron's Greyhounds were used to transport personnel, mail, and supplies between ships and naval bases, ensuring the smooth operation of the fleet. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of naval aviation and the vital role that the Grumman C-2A Greyhound played in supporting the United States Navy's operations at sea.
