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 photograph taken by Charles E. Brown, we witness a historic moment in aviation history at Heathrow Airport in April 1949. The Boeing Stratocruiser, specifically the Pan Am model 377 with the registration number N1028V, is seen making its grand entrance to mark the launch of a new Trans-Atlantic service. Post-World War II, the skies were abuzz with innovation and progress in the realm of civil aviation. The Boeing Stratocruiser, a long-range, pressurized airliner, represented the pinnacle of aviation technology at the time. Its sleek design, spacious cabin, and advanced features, including a pressurized cabin and in-flight galley, set a new standard for air travel. The arrival of the Boeing Stratocruiser at Heathrow Airport was a significant event, as it marked the beginning of regular Trans-Atlantic flights between Europe and North America. The aircraft's ability to traverse the vast oceanic expanse, once thought to be a daunting challenge, was a testament to the incredible advancements in aviation technology. The Pan Am Boeing Stratocruiser, with its distinctive curved wings and elegant lines, exudes an air of sophistication and glamour. The passengers, dressed in their finest attire, eagerly await the opportunity to board this marvel of modern engineering and embark on a new adventure. The future of travel was bright, and the Boeing Stratocruiser was leading the way. This photograph, taken by Charles E. Brown for the Royal Air Force Museum, is a poignant reminder of the past and the transformative impact of aviation on our world. It captures a moment in time when the impossible became possible, and the world became a little smaller.
