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
This photograph captures the moment of intense focus and preparation as the crew of the historic Vickers Vimy aircraft undergo a thorough inspection prior to their groundbreaking England to Australia flight. In the foreground, from left to right, are the renowned aviators Captain Ross Smith, Lieutenant Keith Smith, and Sergeant W.H. (Wally) Shiers. Their determined expressions and sharp attention to detail reflect the significance of the upcoming journey, which would make them the first team to fly non-stop from Europe to Australia. In the background, Jim Bennett can be seen in the rear cockpit, ensuring that every aspect of the plane is in optimal condition for the long-haul flight. The Vickers Vimy, a stalwart of aviation history, stands proudly in the background, its sleek design and powerful engine embodying the spirit of adventure and innovation that drove these pioneering pilots on their epic transcontinental voyage. This image is a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the early aviators and the pivotal role that the Vickers Vimy played in shaping the history of air transport.
