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
This intriguing image showcases a unique piece of trench art from the First World War, featuring a biplane with a fuselage made entirely from a bullet and bullet-bases as wheels. The First World War, also known as the Great War, marked a pivotal moment in aeronautical history as military aviation took center stage in the conflict. This unconventional aircraft, created during the war, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of soldiers in the trenches. The bullet-shaped fuselage, with its pointed nose and tapering body, mirrors the aerodynamic design of early biplanes. The bullet-bases, used as wheels, add an unexpected yet functional touch to this makeshift creation. Trench art, a term used to describe the artistic creations produced by soldiers during wartime, often reflected the harsh realities and surreal nature of the battlefield. This biplane, with its unusual construction, is a prime example of the imaginative and improvisational spirit that characterized trench art. The image, captured from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the historical significance of this unique artifact. It serves as a reminder of the innovative spirit and adaptability that emerged from the challenges of the First World War. The biplane, with its bullet fuselage and bullet-base wheels, stands as a symbol of the ingenuity and resourcefulness that soldiers displayed during this pivotal moment in aeronautical history.
