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 historic moment of the Buran space shuttle landing at the Baikonur space center in 1988. The image showcases the remarkable engineering feat achieved by Soviet Russia during their exploration of outer space. The Buran orbiter, an unmanned and unpowered glider-like spacecraft, gracefully touches down on the runway after a successful test flight. The landscape surrounding the Baikonur Cosmodrome provides a stunning backdrop to this significant event in 20th-century space exploration. With its horizontal composition, Alexander Mokletsov's photograph emphasizes both the grandeur of this achievement and the vastness of Kazakhstan's terrain. The Buran shuttle was designed as a reusable spacecraft, mirroring similar ambitions pursued by other nations during that era. However, it is important to note that this particular photo does not pertain to any commercial use but rather represents a milestone in scientific progress. Mokletsov's expertly captured image allows us to reflect on humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond our planet. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our quest for understanding and pushes us to continue exploring new frontiers in space exploration.
