31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 historic photograph, taken on July 18, 1961, astronauts Alan Shepard Jr. and John Glenn Jr. are seen in the Mercury control center, deep in concentration as they prepare for the sub-orbital flight of astronaut Virgil Grissom, which was scheduled for July 21. The Mercury program, a significant milestone in the history of aeronautics, was the United States' first manned spaceflight initiative. Shepard, the first American in space, had made his sub-orbital flight aboard Freedom 7 on May 5, 1961, while Glenn, the second American in space, orbited the Earth aboard Friendship 7 on February 20, 1962. The trio of astronauts were part of the elite group of pioneers who helped pave the way for the United States' space exploration efforts. In this moment, they are united in their focus and determination to ensure the success of the upcoming mission. The photograph captures the intensity and dedication of these early space explorers as they work together to push the boundaries of human achievement. This image is a powerful reminder of the remarkable progress made in the field of aeronautics during the early days of space exploration.
