Product description
Silence hangs heavy over the tarmac as a lone aviator stands in contemplation, his back to the camera while three aircraft soar across the sky. This print captures a frozen moment of military history, rendered in the high-contrast grain of 1940s photography.
About black and white photography
Black-and-white prints sit comfortably in almost any room, from minimalist to traditional. Grain, soft contrast and period detail give vintage photographs a character that modern images rarely have. The original image dates from 1945. Vintage prints preserve the look of the film stocks, papers and printing methods of their time.
Styling this black and white photograph
The black-and-white colour scheme gives this black and white photograph a clear, confident presence. As a landscape piece, “WWII Air Force Pilot Watching Airfield” fills the space above a desk at 24×36″, while 12×18″ suits a smaller wall, and it is a natural fit for a home office. Because “WWII Air Force Pilot Watching Airfield” is black and white, it pairs with any colour scheme; a slim black frame and a wide mat complete the look. For a gallery wall, pair “WWII Air Force Pilot Watching Airfield” with two or three smaller black-and-white prints, spaced 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) apart.
