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 print depicts Plate XXXII from An Exact and Authentic Narrative of M. Blanchard's Third Aerial Voyage, published in London in 1784. The image captures a moment from the historic event that took place on July 18, 1784, in Rouen, Normandy, France. M. Blanchard, accompanied by M. Boby, embarked on an extraordinary journey aboard a hot air balloon, becoming pioneers in human aviation. The aerial perspective showcased in this plate offers a unique bird's-eye view of the picturesque landscape below. The intricate details of the rural scenery, with its winding rivers, verdant fields, and quaint villages, are rendered with exceptional precision. The inclusion of annotations and labels adds to the scientific and educational nature of the publication. The hot air balloon, with its elegant shape and vibrant colors, dominates the upper portion of the plate. The fiery flames from the burner are depicted in dynamic detail, conveying the raw power and energy required to lift the balloon into the sky. The passengers, M. Blanchard and M. Boby, can be seen inside the wicker basket, holding on tight as they ascend into the heavens. This plate, a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity, provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of aviation. Its publication in London further underscores the global impact and fascination that the Blanchard brothers' voyages generated during this period. An Exact and Authentic Narrative of M. Blanchard's Third Aerial Voyage remains an essential piece of aviation history, inspiring generations to reach for the skies.
