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 photograph, four Sikorsky S-55 helicopters of Sabena, the Belgian national airline, are seen lined up on a grassy field. The helicopters, identified as OO-SHA, OO-SHB, OO-SHC, and OO-SHD, are emblazoned with the distinctive Sabena livery, featuring the blue, red, and yellow colors of the Belgian flag. The Sikorsky S-55, also known as the Sikorsky S-58T, is a twin-engine, single-main-rotor helicopter that was first introduced in 1954. It was a popular and versatile aircraft, used for various roles including passenger transport, medical evacuation, and search and rescue. The helicopters in this photograph appear to be undergoing maintenance or preparation for a flight. The pilots and crew members can be seen working around the aircraft, checking systems and performing routine inspections. The rotors are in the down position, indicating that the helicopters are not currently in flight. The scene is a reminder of the important role that helicopters played in aeronautical transport, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s when they were a new and innovative technology. The ability to transport people and cargo to remote or hard-to-reach locations revolutionized the way that businesses and governments operated, and helicopters continue to be an essential part of modern aviation. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of helicopter transport and the role that Sabena played in it. The Sikorsky S-55s, with their powerful rotors and distinctive livery, are a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the aeronautical industry.
