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 showcases a remarkable Soviet poster commemorating the historic achievement of Yuri Gagarin, the first human to journey into space. On the momentous day of 12th April 1961, Gagarin embarked on an extraordinary flight that lasted a mere 108 minutes but forever transformed our understanding of space exploration. The Vostok 1 spacecraft carried him on a daring mission, completing one full revolution around Earth before safely landing just six miles away from the calculated point. The intricate illustration depicted in this artwork captures the essence of Gagarin's courageous feat. It portrays him as an intrepid astronaut floating weightlessly amidst the vastness of outer space, symbolizing both his personal triumph and humanity's boundless potential for discovery beyond our planet. Tragically, seven years after his groundbreaking spaceflight, Gagarin lost his life while testing an aircraft on 27th March 1968. However, his legacy lives on as an icon in the annals of space exploration and scientific progress. This commemorative piece serves as a poignant reminder not only of Gagarin's incredible achievements but also of the collective efforts made by countless individuals within the Russian cosmonaut program during this pivotal era in history. It stands as a testament to their unwavering dedication and determination to push boundaries and venture into uncharted territories for humankind's greater understanding of our universe.
