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 the Hillington Rolls Royce Factory in all its wartime glory. Taken from an aerial perspective in 1941, this image showcases the industriousness and resilience of Glasgow's Hillington district during a crucial period in history. The factory itself stands as a testament to Scotland's contribution to the war effort, serving as a vital hub for manufacturing Spitfires - iconic fighter planes that played a pivotal role in defending Britain against enemy forces. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the bustling activity within the factory grounds. Rows upon rows of partially constructed aircraft can be seen, each representing countless hours of meticulous workmanship by skilled engineers and laborers. The sight is awe-inspiring, symbolizing both human ingenuity and collective determination. While it is important to note that this particular facility was not affiliated with the prestigious luxury car company bearing the same name, its significance cannot be understated. This snapshot immortalizes an era when ordinary people came together under extraordinary circumstances to safeguard their nation's freedom. Preserved by the Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland, this image serves as a poignant reminder of Scotland's unwavering commitment to defending democracy during World War II. It encapsulates not only an architectural landmark but also represents an enduring spirit that continues to inspire generations today.
