Soviet rocket scientists
Sergei Korolev (1907-1966), pioneering Soviet rocket scientist, with other scientists from GIRD, the Moscow Group for Reactive Motion. Korolev is far left. In the centre is one of their early rockets. After developing an interest in rocketry, Korolev formed GIRD who, in 1933, launched the USSRs first liquid-fueled rocket. It was powered by a gasoline and oxygen mixture, reaching a height of 400 metres and landing 150 metres from the launch site. After the Second World War Korolev worked developing rockets, both for space exploration and for military use. His most famous was Vostok 1, which carried the first man into space.

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 a significant moment in history, showcasing the brilliant minds behind Soviet rocketry. In the forefront stands Sergei Korolev, an esteemed pioneer of Soviet rocket science, alongside his fellow scientists from GIRD (the Moscow Group for Reactive Motion). The year is either 1933 or 1934, when their groundbreaking achievements were just beginning to take shape. At the center of attention lies one of their early rockets, symbolizing the immense potential that lay within these visionary individuals. It was with this very rocket that GIRD launched the USSR's first liquid-fueled creation – a remarkable feat in itself. Powered by a mixture of gasoline and oxygen, it soared to an impressive height of 400 meters before gracefully landing only 150 meters away from its launch site. The historical significance of this photograph extends far beyond those early days. Following World War II, Korolev continued his tireless work in developing rockets for both space exploration and military purposes. His most renowned accomplishment came with Vostok 1 – the spacecraft responsible for carrying humanity's first astronaut into space. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we are reminded not only of Korolev's extraordinary contributions but also of the collective brilliance possessed by these engineers and scientists who propelled Soviet Union's advancements in space flight during the mid-20th century.
