Hmas Platform Rnas Sopwith Sydney Taking Turret
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
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a Sopwith Pup biplane takes off from the turret platform of HMAS Sydney, a Royal Australian Navy (RAN) armored cruiser, during World War I. The Sopwith Pup, a single-seat biplane designed by the British aircraft manufacturer Sopwith Aviation Company, was widely used by the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) for reconnaissance, scouting, and light bombing missions. The image captures the moment of lift-off, with the Pup's propeller churning up the water behind it as it gains speed and elevation. The turret platform, a defensive structure mounted on the deck of the ship, provides a makeshift runway for the aircraft, allowing it to take off from the vessel and join other RNAS planes in the air. The RAN's HMAS Sydney, a formidable armored cruiser, served as a base of operations for the RNAS during the war. The ship's turret platform was used to launch and recover aircraft, enabling the RAN to extend its reach and enhance its capabilities in the defense of Australian waters. The photograph offers a glimpse into the innovative and collaborative efforts of the naval and aviation forces during this period. The Sopwith Pup, with its distinctive design and versatility, played a crucial role in the RNAS's successes in the skies above the battlefields of World War I. This powerful image serves as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the men and women who served in the RNAS and RAN during this pivotal time in history.
