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 striking photograph captures the majesty and power of HMS Eagle (R98) of the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm during the post-war era. Taken by the renowned Royal Air Force photographer, Charles E. Brown, the image showcases the aircraft carrier in full regalia, with a complement of Sea Hawk FB.11 jet fighters and Sea Dragon helicopters decked out in their vibrant colors and markings. HMS Eagle, commissioned in 1951, was the Royal Navy's first post-war aircraft carrier and the last of the Majestic-class carriers. Measuring 742 feet in length and displacing over 23,000 tons, she was a formidable presence on the high seas. Her flight deck, spanning over 900 feet, was capable of accommodating up to 40 aircraft, making her a vital asset in the defense of the United Kingdom and its global interests. The period depicted in this photograph marks a significant moment in the history of the Royal Navy and the Fleet Air Arm. The integration of jet aircraft into naval aviation marked a new era, offering increased speed, range, and firepower. The Sea Hawk FB.11, with its powerful Rolls-Royce Avon engines, was a testament to the technological advancements of the time. The helicopters, such as the Westland Sea Dragon, provided essential support to the carrier group, conducting search and rescue missions, anti-submarine warfare, and reconnaissance. With its impressive aircraft complement and versatile capabilities, HMS Eagle embodied the spirit of innovation and determination that characterized the post-war Royal Navy.
