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 print takes us back in time to the year 1945, when London Heathrow Airport was still under construction. The image, captured by Charles E Brown, showcases the immense scale of this iconic transportation hub as it began to take shape after World War II. Intriguingly, this photograph not only represents a significant milestone in aviation history but also symbolizes the resilience and determination of postwar Britain. As we gaze upon the scene, we can almost feel the buzz of excitement surrounding this ambitious project that would soon become one of the world's busiest airports. The composition beautifully captures the vast expanse of land where runways are being laid out meticulously. Construction workers can be seen scattered across the site, their presence underscoring both human effort and collaboration required for such an undertaking. Amidst cranes and scaffolding structures rising towards the sky, there is an undeniable sense of progress and anticipation. Heathrow Airport has since evolved into a global gateway connecting people from all corners of our planet. This remarkable image serves as a reminder that every journey begins with humble beginnings; it reminds us how far we have come while igniting curiosity about what lies ahead. As we reflect on this historical moment frozen in time through Charles E Brown's lens, let us appreciate not just its aesthetic value but also its ability to transport us back to an era defined by transformation and hope for a brighter future.
