17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 evocative photograph, the skeletal frame of the Concorde supersonic jet takes shape against the backdrop of a bustling aircraft factory in Filton, Bristol, during the late 1960s. The Concorde, a groundbreaking achievement in aviation history, was a joint venture between the British and French governments, designed to push the boundaries of air travel and reduce transatlantic flight times. The image captures the jet's intricate engineering and innovative design, with its distinctive delta-wing shape and four powerful Rolls-Royce Olympus engines visible in the foreground. The workers in the background, dressed in protective gear and hard hats, add a sense of scale and human effort to the construction process. The scaffolding and cranes that surround the frame underscore the intricacy and complexity of the project. The Concorde underwent several phases of testing and development before its first flight in 1969, and this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the early stages of its creation. The aircraft's revolutionary design, which allowed it to reach speeds of over twice the speed of sound, represented a significant advancement in air travel and captured the imagination of the world. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers, designers, and workers who brought the Concorde to life. It also serves as a reminder of the transformative power of technology and innovation in shaping the way we travel and connect with one another across great distances. The Concorde's legacy continues to inspire and captivate, and this photograph offers a unique window into the past, showcasing the intricate details of this iconic aircraft's construction and the dedicated team that made it possible.
