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.

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
Zepp! - WW1: A Haunting Nightmare Unfolding Over the UK Skies Circa 1917: Amidst the inky darkness of the night, a menacing silhouette casts an eerie glow over the tranquil landscape below. The ominous figure of a German Zeppelin, drifting serenely through the star-studded sky, is illuminated by the intense beams of British searchlights. The ominous sight of this airborne behemoth, a symbol of the ruthless German bombing raids that terrorized the British home front during World War I, sends shivers down the spines of those below. The air around the Zeppelin crackles with tension as the sirens wail, signaling an imminent threat. The once peaceful night has been shattered, replaced by the harsh reality of war. The searchlights, once used to guide ships safely through treacherous waters, now serve as a formidable defense against the enemy. Their blinding light pierces the night, revealing the intricate design of the airship's hull, as well as its ominous cargo - bombs, ready to wreak havoc on unsuspecting towns and cities. The people of Britain, huddled in their homes, listen intently for the telltale drone of the Zeppelin's engines, their hearts pounding in their chests. They know that every second counts in the race against time to prepare for the impending attack. The air raid sirens continue to wail, a constant reminder of the danger lurking in the night sky. This haunting image, captured circa 1917, serves as a poignant reminder of the terrors of war and the indomitable spirit of those who endured it. The Zeppelin, once a marvel of engineering, now a symbol of fear and destruction, hangs ominously in the night sky, a chilling reminder of the ongoing struggle between the Allied and Central Powers.
