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
In this print by Victor Shustov, we are transported back to the height of the Cold War in August 1966. The image showcases a group of determined Vietnamese cadet pilots undergoing rigorous training on the formidable MiG-21PFL fighter bomber at an undisclosed airbase nestled within the vast expanse of the Russian Steppes. As tensions between superpowers escalated during this era, military prowess and technological advancements were crucial for nations seeking to assert their dominance. This photograph encapsulates that very essence as these young cadets immerse themselves in intensive preparation for potential aerial combat. The MiG-21PFL, known as "Fishbed" by NATO forces, was renowned for its speed and agility. It symbolized Soviet engineering excellence and became a vital asset for countries aligned with the Eastern Bloc during this tumultuous period. Amidst the backdrop of an unknown airbase shrouded in secrecy, these Vietnamese cadets epitomize bravery and dedication as they navigate through their training program. Their unwavering determination is palpable, reflecting both personal aspirations and national pride. Shustov's expertly captured moment freezes time, allowing us to glimpse into a pivotal chapter of history where geopolitical rivalries played out through cutting-edge technology. This evocative image serves as a reminder of how military training transcends borders while highlighting the indomitable spirit exhibited by those who dedicate themselves to defending their homeland.
