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 print takes us back to the summer of 1979, offering a mesmerizing aerial view of London. The focal point of this image is the incredible display put on by the esteemed RAF Falcon parachute team. On this particular morning, these daredevils fearlessly jumped into London's iconic Horse Guard square, leaving spectators in awe. Their breathtaking performance was not just an adrenaline-pumping spectacle but also served as a brilliant publicity stunt for the upcoming royal Tournament at Earls Court. As they gracefully descended from the rear of an RAF Hercules aircraft, their colorful parachutes painted a stunning contrast against the cityscape below. The photograph beautifully captures both the precision and artistry involved in skydiving during that era. It transports us back to a time when such displays were rare and truly left an indelible mark on those lucky enough to witness them firsthand. London itself provides a magnificent backdrop for this thrilling moment in history. Its historic landmarks stand tall amidst its bustling streets and flowing waterways, reminding us why it has always been considered one of Europe's greatest cities. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints, this remarkable snapshot allows us to relive the excitement and marvel at these brave men who defied gravity with grace and skill.
