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
The Imperial Airways flying boat Caledonia, a majestic symbol of the golden age of aviation, poised for its historic transatlantic journey from Southampton. This monochrome print captures the anticipation and excitement surrounding this first experimental flight in the 1930s. The image, published in the International Herald Tribune, transports us back to an era between the wars when air travel was still a daring adventure. The black and white composition highlights every detail of this remarkable seaplane as it prepares to defy gravity and conquer vast oceans. With its sleek design and powerful engines, the Caledonia represents both technological innovation and human ambition. This photograph is not just about machinery; it tells a story of human progress and our insatiable desire to explore new frontiers. It reminds us that commercial aviation was once a privilege reserved for only a few brave passengers who dared to embark on these pioneering journeys. As we gaze at this timeless image captured by Planet News photographers, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days of civil aviation. Today's modern airliners owe their existence to trailblazers like Caledonia, whose courageous flights paved the way for global connectivity. Let this photograph serve as an inspiration to embrace our own spirit of adventure and curiosity as we continue pushing boundaries in air travel.
