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 photograph, the Supermarine Spitfire Vb, registration number JV441, is seen taxying on the tarmac of an RAF airfield during World War II. The Spitfire, a iconic symbol of British aviation, was manufactured by the Supermarine Aviation Works, a subsidiary of Vickers-Armstrongs, and was operated extensively by the Royal Air Force (RAF). The Spitfire Vb, specifically, was an improved version of the legendary Spitfire Mark V, which entered service in 1943. With its Merlin 61 engine, it boasted a top speed of over 400 miles per hour and was equipped with four 20mm cannon and two .303 inch machine guns. These formidable weapons made the Spitfire Vb a formidable opponent against the Luftwaffe during the later stages of the war. In this image, the Spitfire's distinctive elliptical wings, gracefully curved and streamlined, cast long shadows on the ground as the sun begins to set. The aircraft's camouflage paint scheme, designed to blend in with the British countryside, is worn and faded, a testament to the rigors of combat. The RAF roundel and serial number, "JV441," are clearly visible on the fuselage, identifying this particular Spitfire as a member of 92 Squadron. The photograph, taken by Charles E. Brown, captures the raw power and determination of the RAF during World War II. The Spitfire, with its sleek lines and deadly armament, stands as a symbol of the courage and resilience of the men and women who flew these magnificent machines in defense of their country. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a time when the world hung in the balance, and the RAF, with the Spitfire as its primary weapon, played a crucial role in securing victory against the odds.
