Interwar Record Breaking Transport Travel Airships
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 captures a historic moment in aviation history - the R-34 airship during its flight trials before embarking on an unprecedented journey across the Atlantic Ocean. The British R-34, closely modeled after the renowned Zeppelin L33, made headlines in 1919 by achieving the remarkable feat of completing the first-ever double crossing of this vast expanse of water. The image showcases the sheer grandeur and technological marvel that was this interwar airship. Its colossal size dominates the frame, with graceful curves and intricate details hinting at its engineering brilliance. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies, it soars effortlessly through the atmosphere, defying gravity and pushing boundaries. Symbolizing progress and adventure, this photograph epitomizes record-breaking achievements in early 20th-century travel.

As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image from yesteryear preserved within Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum's collection, we are transported back to an era when airships represented limitless possibilities for exploration and connectivity.
