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 photograph captures a significant moment in the construction of the USS Akron, an iconic airship that soared through the skies during the Great Depression era. Taken circa 1933, this archival print showcases the precise attachment of the nose cone to this colossal dirigible, symbolizing a remarkable feat of American innovation and technological advancement. The image transports us back to a bygone era when aviation was still in its infancy, yet rapidly evolving. The intricate framework and scaffolding surrounding the massive air vehicle highlight both its size and complexity. Set against an indoor backdrop within a vast warehouse or hangar, it emphasizes the magnitude of this engineering marvel. As we delve into history, we are reminded of how these airships played a crucial role in military transportation during their time. The USS Akron served as part of America's naval fleet, showcasing not only its impressive size but also its significance within military operations.
