Aviation Dirigible Flight Flying Military
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 from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back to a pivotal moment in history - the haunting image of a Zeppelin airship caught in searchlights during a bombing raid over England in 1916. The night of 2-3 September London was under attack, and this illustration, published around 1920, serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of war. In this black-and-white snapshot frozen in time, we witness the convergence of two worlds: flight and military might. The majestic yet ominous dirigible hovers amidst the darkness, its colossal silhouette illuminated by piercing searchlights that seem determined to expose its presence. It is an awe-inspiring sight that evokes both fear and admiration for human ingenuity. The photograph encapsulates the essence of aviation's early days when mankind dared to conquer the skies but also unleashed destruction upon each other. It stands as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of progress even amidst times of conflict. As we gaze at this historical artifact, let us reflect on the sacrifices made during those turbulent years and honor those who fought valiantly for their nations. This image reminds us not only of our capacity for innovation but also our responsibility to use it wisely. Through UIG's archival lens, we are transported back in time; witnessing firsthand how war forever changed societies across the globe. May this poignant photograph serve as a constant reminder that peace should always be cherished above all else.
