5929416 Horse-drawn transports, possibly an artillery train, passing the ruined Cloth Hall, Ypres, 1917 (oil on paper) by Holiday, Charles Gilbert (1879-1937); National Army Museum, London; (add.info.: Horse-drawn transports, possibly an artillery train, passing the ruined Cloth Hall, Ypres, 1917.
Oil on paper with chalk and charcoal overdrawing by Captain Charles Gilbert Holiday, Royal Field Artillery, 1917.
At the centre of Ypres stood the huge, 13th Century Cloth Hall, one of the finest examples of Flemish medieval civic architecture and the economic heart of the town. The gradual destruction of Ypres during the First World War (1914-1918) was epitomised by that of the Cloth Hall, which also came to symbolise the effect of war upon western civilisation. Since the war, the Cloth Hall has been meticulously rebuilt to its original form and it now houses the Flanders Fields Museum.); © National Army Museum

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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 captures a poignant moment in history as horse-drawn transports, possibly an artillery train, pass by the ruined Cloth Hall in Ypres during 1917. Painted with oil on paper by Captain Charles Gilbert Holiday of the Royal Field Artillery, this artwork showcases the devastating impact of World War I on western civilization. At the heart of Ypres stood the magnificent Cloth Hall, a stunning example of Flemish medieval civic architecture and an economic hub for the town. However, as war ravaged through Europe, Ypres suffered gradual destruction and its symbol of prosperity - the Cloth Hall - was not spared. The image portrays a stark contrast between past glory and present devastation. The once grand structure now lies in ruins, serving as a somber reminder of the toll that warfare takes on society. It serves as a powerful testament to human resilience and determination to rebuild what has been lost. Since then, painstaking efforts have been made to meticulously restore the Cloth Hall to its original form. Today it houses the Flanders Fields Museum which commemorates those who sacrificed their lives during wartime. This print is not just an artistic representation but also serves as a historical document that encapsulates both tragedy and hope amidst conflict.
