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
Step into a bygone era with this aviation poster from the early 20th century, showcasing the Portsmouth, Southsea & Isle of Wight Aviation Ltd's Spithead Air Ferry service. The image transports us back in time, with a sleek biplane soaring above the tranquil waters of Spithead, framed by the picturesque Southsea coastline and the Isle of Wight in the distance. The poster advertises the winter fare for a return journey, priced at a reasonable seven shillings and sixpence. Seven services run daily, ensuring frequent departures for travelers eager to make the crossing. The poster invites us to travel in "warmth and comfort," as both passengers and their luggage are promised a cozy journey. The elegance of air travel is contrasted with the traditional sailing boats and ships in the foreground, adding to the charm of this nostalgic scene. The poster's intricate design, featuring the Wessex crest and the promise of "services daily," underscores the reliability and sophistication of this aeronautical marvel. This evocative poster is a testament to the allure of early aviation and the spirit of innovation that characterized the era. The Royal Aeronautical Society's National Aerospace Library and Mary Evans Prints Online have graciously preserved this piece of history, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and engineering that defined the golden age of flight.
