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 vibrant and stylish poster, created by Guernsey Airways Ltd in the 20th century, showcases the aeronautical services connecting London, Southampton, and the Channel Islands to Dinard on the French coast. The poster's design is a testament to the excitement and glamour of air travel during this era. The central focus of the poster is a stylised map of the routes, with London and Southampton depicted as key departure points. The Channel Islands, represented by Jersey and Alderney, are shown as idyllic green islands nestled in the English Channel. The route to Dinard in France is illustrated as a graceful yellow line, evoking the feeling of flight and the journey across the sea. The poster's color palette is dominated by green and yellow, reflecting the natural beauty of the islands and the spirit of adventure. The Spartan aircraft, a symbol of the era's aeronautics, is depicted soaring above the map, adding to the sense of motion and freedom. The poster also highlights the connection between rail and air travel, with a railway train shown in the bottom left corner, emphasizing the seamless integration of transport services. The poster's text, written in bold, clear font, promotes the convenience and frequency of the flights, inviting passengers to explore the Channel Islands and France by air. This poster is a fascinating glimpse into the history of aviation and travel during the 20th century, showcasing the allure and excitement of flying to far-off destinations. The Royal Aeronautical Society's National Aerospace Library has preserved this important piece of aeronautical history, making it available for us to appreciate and learn from today.
