31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 from Science Photo Library showcases Belka, the iconic Soviet space dog, donning a spacesuit. Belka's presence in this image symbolizes the groundbreaking achievements of the Soviet space program during the early years of manned spaceflight. As part of an animal experiment conducted by the Russian and Soviet space agencies, Belka played a crucial role in advancing our understanding of living organisms' ability to withstand the extreme conditions of outer space. Her mission aboard Sputnik 5, also known as Korabl-Sputnik 2, marked a significant milestone in aerospace history. In her specially designed spacesuit, Belka embodies bravery and resilience as she embarked on this daring journey into uncharted territory. This photograph serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our unwavering curiosity about what lies beyond Earth's atmosphere. The image captures not only Belka's adorable appearance but also represents countless hours of scientific research and dedication by scientists and engineers involved in the Soviet space program. It stands as a reminder that exploration knows no boundaries – even our furry companions have contributed to expanding humanity's reach into outer space. Science Photo Library has expertly preserved this extraordinary moment for us to appreciate and reflect upon how far we've come since those pioneering days.
