23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 photograph, Rittmeister Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen, the famed German fighter pilot and ace of aces in World War I, is captured in a moment of quiet reflection. The image, taken by the Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum, offers a rare glimpse into the personal side of this enigmatic military figure. Manfred von Richthofen, also known as the "Red Baron," was a German military aviator who served in the Imperial German Army Air Service during World War I. He is credited with shooting down 80 enemy aircraft, making him the highest-scoring fighter pilot of the war. His distinctive red triplane, adorned with a black cross, became a symbol of German military might and a target for Allied pilots. Despite his fearsome reputation on the battlefield, this photograph reveals a more introspective side of the Rittmeister. He is seen sitting alone, with his arms resting on his knees and his gaze fixed on the horizon. The expression on his face is thoughtful, almost contemplative, suggesting that he is lost in thought or deep in reflection. The photograph was likely taken during one of the rare moments of respite between the intense aerial combat that characterized the war. The desolate landscape in the background, with its barren trees and rolling hills, underscores the harsh and unforgiving nature of the battlefield. Despite the passage of time, this photograph continues to captivate audiences and serve as a reminder of the complex and multifaceted nature of the men and women who fought in the Great War. It invites us to consider not only the heroics and bravery of the Red Baron, but also the human side of a man who remains an enduring symbol of military history.
