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
In this photograph from 1957, Sir George Edwards, a visionary figure in the field of aviation, is seen deep in thought as he examines a model aircraft. The image captures the intensity and focus of a man who dedicated his life to the development of transport technology, particularly in the realm of aviation. Sir George Edwards (1906-1986) was a renowned British aeronautical engineer and test pilot, who made significant contributions to the field of aircraft design. During the 1950s, he played a pivotal role in the development of the de Havilland Comet, the world's first jet-powered passenger airliner. This groundbreaking aircraft revolutionized air travel, offering passengers greater comfort and speed compared to the propeller-driven planes of the time. In this photograph, Sir George Edwards is seen in his element, surrounded by the intricacies of aircraft design. The presence of a model plane on the table before him suggests that he is in the midst of brainstorming sessions, perhaps contemplating the next innovative leap in aviation technology. The image evokes a sense of wonder and excitement, as we witness a man who has shaped the future of air travel lost in thought, surrounded by the potential for further exploration and discovery. The photograph, taken in 1957, is a testament to the ingenuity and passion of Sir George Edwards and his team, who pushed the boundaries of what was possible in the realm of aviation. This image serves as a reminder of the transformative impact of innovation and the enduring allure of flight.
