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 vintage print captures the intriguing figure of Mr. Edward Spencer, a man whose name is forever linked to one of history's most daring and tragic experiments. Born on May 8th, 1799, Mr. Spencer accompanied Mr. Charles Green in the ill-fated parachute experiment of Mr. Robert Cocking on July 24th, 1837, at Vauxhall Gardens. The engraving showcases the romantic and nostalgic style of nineteenth-century artwork, with intricate details that transport us back to an era long gone. Created by G. P. Harding, F. S. A. , it exemplifies the illustrative techniques and traditional engravement methods prevalent during this time. Mr. Spencer's involvement in this fatal experiment did not deter his adventurous spirit; up until August 24th, 1839 - the date depicted in this image - he had made twenty-seven ascents with Mr. Green. This historic art piece allows us to delve into a bygone era filled with curiosity and bravery as we witness these pioneers pushing boundaries in early aviation history. With its aged appearance and retro-styled charm, this engraved image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when exploration was met with both excitement and trepidation. As we gaze upon this illustration from Universal Images Group (UIG), let us remember those who dared to dream big and explore new frontiers in their pursuit of knowledge and adventure.
