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 awe-inspiring print captures a historic moment in human exploration - the first view of Earth from the Moon. Taken by the United States Lunar Orbiter I on August 23,1966, this remarkable image was transmitted to Earth and received at the NASA tracking station in Robledo De Chavela, Spain. In this snapshot, we witness our beautiful planet as seen from the vicinity of our celestial neighbor. The crescent shape of Earth is illuminated against the dark expanse of space, creating a mesmerizing contrast that evokes both wonder and humility. It serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's place within the vastness of the universe. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when space exploration was still in its infancy. The Lunar Orbiter I had embarked on its 16th orbit around the Moon when it captured this breathtaking sight just before disappearing behind its surface. The significance of this image cannot be overstated. It symbolizes mankind's insatiable curiosity and relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries beyond our home planet. This iconic photograph continues to inspire generations with its profound message: that despite our differences and boundaries on Earth, we are all inhabitants of one fragile world suspended in an infinite cosmos. Let us cherish this extraordinary glimpse into history and allow it to ignite our collective passion for further exploration and understanding of both ourselves and the universe that surrounds us.
