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
At the Memorial for the Pioneer Flyers: A Historic Gathering at Wright Brothers Field in 1940 This evocative photograph captures a significant moment in aviation history, as prominent figures in the military and aviation world came together at Wright Brothers Field in Dayton, Ohio, on August 19, 1940, to pay tribute to the pioneer flyers who had trained there. From left to right, we see Major-General Henry H. Arnold, the Chief of the Army Air Corps, Orville Wright, one of the Wright Brothers who invented the world's first successful airplane, and Captain Kenneth Whiting, the General Inspector of Naval Aircraft, Eastern Division. Colonel E.A. Deeds, chairman of the Memorial Commission, stands behind Orville Wright. The occasion was the dedication of a memorial to honor the pioneer flyers who had trained at Wright Brothers Field, which had played a crucial role in the development of military aviation. The field, which opened in 1910, had been the site of the U.S. Army's first flying school and had produced many of the country's earliest military pilots. The gathering of these esteemed figures underscores the importance of the Wright Brothers' invention and the role that Wright Brothers Field played in shaping the future of military aviation. The image is a poignant reminder of the past and the enduring legacy of the pioneers who helped pave the way for the technological marvels of modern aviation.
