This is a pair of framed and glazed prints of de Havilland aircraft in flight – Dove and Heron. Both pictures are prints on cream card with wide borders. They do not have separate mounts. The borders are foxed, but this could be covered with a suitable mount. The frames are wooden (possibly stained oak). The frames have age-related wear.
Size:
• Frame: 69cm W x 54cm H
• Image: 42.5cm W x 31cm H
The owner was a retired aircraft engineer. He told me these pictures came from the boardroom at the de Havilland headquarters and were given to him by the area manager when the building was closed down. He thought they were made to commemorate first flights.
1. The de Havilland Dove
• The Dove is marked ‘Wooton’ in the bottom left corner of the image but is not dated.
• The glass is in good condition.
• There are a couple of marks on the image (see photos)
2. The de Havilland Heron
• The Heron has no identifying marks on the image or the frame.
• The glazing has a couple of cracks that I couldn’t catch on camera.
