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
The iconic first Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet graces the apron at Heathrow Airport, capturing a momentous chapter in aviation history. This photograph, taken on January 12th, 1970, immortalizes the aircraft's delayed arrival after encountering engine trouble during its journey from New York. As the behemoth touched down three hours behind schedule, it carried more than 300 dedicated employees of Pan-Am Airlines. The significance of this inaugural flight cannot be overstated; it marked a new era of air travel with its unprecedented size and capabilities. The image showcases the sheer magnitude of this engineering marvel as it stands proudly on the tarmac. Its distinctive tail looms high above nearby structures, symbolizing both power and innovation. A testament to human ingenuity and progress in transportation. This snapshot captures not only an aircraft but also a moment filled with anticipation and excitement for what lay ahead in commercial aviation. It serves as a reminder that every great achievement comes with challenges along the way – exemplified by the need to replace one of its fan jet engines before reaching its destination. Preserved through time by Memory Lane Prints' expert staff, this print invites us to relive an extraordinary milestone in our collective memory. It is a tribute to those who made possible our ability to traverse vast distances effortlessly while connecting people across borders.
