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.

Avro Vulcan B2: A Symbol of Cold War Nuclear Deterrence This powerful image captures the Avro Vulcan B2 bomber, a legendary aircraft that played a pivotal role in the United Kingdom's nuclear deterrence strategy during the Cold War. The Vulcan B2, with its distinctive delta wing design and sleek silver finish, is seen here armed with a Blue Steel stand-off bomb. Blue Steel was a British nuclear weapon system designed to deliver a nuclear warhead from a safe distance, reducing the risk to the delivering aircraft. The bomb is suspended beneath the Vulcan's wings, its distinctive shape and ominous payload a testament to the military technology of the era. The Avro Vulcan B2 was a versatile aircraft, capable of both conventional bombing missions and nuclear strikes. Its long range and high speed made it a formidable asset for the Royal Air Force, enabling it to reach targets deep within enemy territory. This photograph is a reminder of a time when the world teetered on the brink of nuclear war. The Avro Vulcan B2, with its Blue Steel payload, was a symbol of the military might and strategic capabilities of the United Kingdom during the Cold War. Today, it stands as a testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the past, a reminder of a time when the world was held in the balance.
