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 intensity and focus of two Royal Flying Corps (RFC) crewmen as they prepare for a mission during World War I. The image, taken in March 1918 at Villeselve in the Oise region of Northern France, shows the men in their flying gear, donning goggles and checking their instruments. The open cockpit of their biplane is filled with the tools and equipment necessary for a successful flight. The RFC, established in 1912, was the air arm of the British Army during the First World War. The crewmen in this photograph are likely members of a squadron based in France, where they played a crucial role in reconnaissance, bombing raids, and dogfights against enemy aircraft. The 1910s were a time of rapid advancements in aviation technology, and the RFC was at the forefront of these developments. The biplane in the photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the era, with its sleek wings and powerful engine. Despite the danger and hardships of their work, the crewmen in this photograph exude a sense of determination and resolve. Their focused expressions and attentive body language suggest that they are ready for whatever challenges lie ahead. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the men and women who served in the military during the First World War.
