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 historic moment in space exploration as the Soviet spacecraft Vostok 6 stands tall on the launchpad at Baikonur cosmodrome on June 16th, 1963. This particular mission holds immense significance as it marked the groundbreaking flight of Valentina Tereshkova, who became the first woman to venture into outer space. The Vostok 6 mission was part of the ambitious Soviet space program that aimed to push boundaries and assert dominance in the Space Race. With Tereshkova at its helm, this remarkable flight lasted an impressive 70.8 hours, during which she orbited our planet an astounding 48 times. As we gaze upon this iconic image, we are reminded of both the technological prowess and human achievement that characterized this era. The sight of Vostok 6 poised for liftoff evokes a sense of anticipation and wonderment about what lies beyond our earthly confines. This photograph serves as a testament to Tereshkova's courage and determination, breaking through gender barriers and paving the way for future generations of female astronauts. It symbolizes not only her personal triumph but also represents a significant milestone in mankind's quest to explore uncharted territories. Science Photo Library brings us yet another powerful visual narrative from history, encapsulating both scientific progress and human ambition within a single frame.
