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 evocative black-and-white photograph, a Northrop P-61A Black Widow of the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) soars above the Normandy countryside on August 28, 1944. The image, now housed in the collection of the Royal Air Force Museum, captures a pivotal moment in history as the Allied forces continued their relentless advance following the successful D-Day landings. The Northrop P-61A Black Widow was a long-range, twin-engine heavy fighter specifically designed for night interception and anti-shipping roles. Its distinctive radar system, located beneath the fuselage, enabled the aircraft to detect and engage enemy targets in the dark. With its formidable armament of six .50 caliber machine guns and a 20mm cannon, the Black Widow was a formidable adversary. During World War II, the USAAF's 422nd Night Fighter Squadron, which operated the P-61A, played a crucial role in the air defense of Europe. Based in England, the squadron was responsible for protecting Allied convoys and airfields from enemy attacks. In the skies above Normandy, the P-61A Black Widow proved its worth, shooting down numerous German aircraft and contributing significantly to the Allied victory in Europe. The photograph, taken during this period, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the determination and skill of the USAAF pilots who flew these powerful and innovative aircraft. The image stands as a testament to the critical role the Black Widow played in the Allied campaign against the Axis powers during World War II.
