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 showcases the remarkable Short SB. 5, with registration WG768, soaring through the skies during its flight demonstration at the prestigious SBAC Show in Farnborough back in 1953. The aircraft's sleek design and powerful engine are beautifully captured by Charles E Brown, a talented photographer renowned for his ability to freeze moments of aviation history. The Short SB. 5 was an iconic research aircraft that played a pivotal role in postwar aviation advancements. This particular image perfectly encapsulates the spirit of innovation and progress that defined this era. With its distinctive shape and cutting-edge technology, it symbolizes mankind's relentless pursuit of pushing boundaries and exploring new frontiers.

It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then while also inspiring us to continue striving for excellence in aerospace engineering. Charles E Brown's masterful composition not only captures the sheer beauty of flight but also preserves an important piece of history within its frame.
