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
This Trench Art triplane print showcases the ingenuity and creativity of soldiers during the First World War. The intricately detailed metal wings and sparkplug fuselage of this triplane are a testament to the resourcefulness and innovative spirit of the soldiers who crafted it. Trench Art, also known as soldiers' art, emerged as a means for soldiers to express their creativity and pass the time during long periods of waiting or downtime in the trenches. During the First World War, the aeronautical industry was in its infancy, and the sight of a triplane, with its three wings, would have been an awe-inspiring sight. This Trench Art triplane replica brings that sense of wonder and excitement to life, with its intricate metal wings and sparkplug fuselage. The use of a sparkplug as the fuselage is a clever touch, as it would have been a common and readily available item in the trenches. The history of Trench Art is rich and varied, with soldiers creating everything from intricate metalwork to sculptures and even jewelry from discarded materials. This triplane print is a unique and fascinating example of the aeronautical history of the First World War and the creativity of the soldiers who served during that time. The intricate details of the metal wings and sparkplug fuselage make this a must-have for any aviation enthusiast or history buff, providing a glimpse into the past and the ingenuity of those who lived through it.
