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
This print from Science Photo Library captures a significant moment in the history of Soviet space exploration. Pictured here are two remarkable cosmonauts, Yuri Romanenko and Alexander Laveikin, undergoing rigorous training for their groundbreaking mission aboard the Mir space station. On 5 February 1987, these brave individuals embarked on an extraordinary journey into the unknown, propelled by the Soyuz TM2 ferry spacecraft. Their destination: Mir, a symbol of human ingenuity and scientific progress. For months on end, Romanenko and Laveikin called this orbiting laboratory home as they conducted experiments and pushed the boundaries of our understanding of space. Their unwavering dedication to advancing manned spaceflight was truly commendable. After an awe-inspiring stay lasting 326 days – a new record at that time – Romanenko bid farewell to his cosmic abode on 29 December 1987. Laveikin followed suit shortly after on 30 July 1987. Both cosmonauts left an indelible mark not only in Soviet history but also in humanity's quest for knowledge beyond Earth's atmosphere. This photograph serves as a testament to their courage and resilience during intense cosmonaut training sessions that prepared them physically and mentally for this historic endeavor. It is a reminder of how far we have come in exploring outer space while honoring those who paved the way for future generations of astronauts and scientists alike.
