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
This photograph captures the sleek and powerful form of a de Havilland Vampire F.1 (TG278) in flight near Hatfield, Hertfordshire, on 23 August 1945. The image, taken by renowned aviation photographer Charles E. Brown for the Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum, marks an important moment in postwar aviation history. The de Havilland Vampire was the first jet fighter operated by the RAF and represented a significant advancement in military aviation technology. Its debut came just as the Second World War was drawing to a close, ushering in a new era of jet-powered aircraft. In this photograph, the Vampire's distinctive delta wing and swept-back wings can be seen in crisp detail against the clear blue sky. The engine exhaust trails, forming a perfect "V" shape, indicate the aircraft's impressive speed and power. The cockpit, with its rounded canopy, appears compact yet well-equipped, reflecting the advanced design of the time. The RAF's adoption of the Vampire marked the beginning of a new chapter in military aviation. Its impressive performance and versatility made it a mainstay of the RAF's inventory for over two decades, serving in various roles such as fighter, trainer, and target tug. This photograph serves as a testament to the Vampire's enduring legacy and the pioneering spirit of the RAF during the postwar era.
