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
1. Title: "Discovering the Secrets of the Enemy: A WWII Radio Set from a Captured Heinkel III Aircraft" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a moment of intrigue and intelligence during World War II. In the image, a man intently examines a radio set that has been extracted from a downed Heinkel III German aircraft. The date, 1940, is etched into the history of this artifact, as the world was on the brink of a pivotal turning point in the conflict. The Heinkel III was a formidable warplane used extensively by the German Luftwaffe during the early years of the war. This radio set, a crucial component of the aircraft's communication system, could be used with either a kite or rod aerial. Its significance lies in its ability to flash an automatic S.O.S signal on specific wavelengths, a feature that could potentially save lives or provide valuable intelligence to the Allied forces. The man's focused expression and the presence of this captured radio set serve as a testament to the importance of communication technology during wartime. The ability to intercept and decipher enemy transmissions was a vital aspect of military strategy, and the acquisition of such equipment was a significant victory for the Allied forces. As the world marks the 80th anniversary of this period, this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the ingenuity, determination, and resourcefulness that shaped the course of history during World War II. This radio set, a seemingly ordinary object, holds a rich and intriguing story that continues to fascinate historians, military enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the human experience during wartime.
