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 captures a remarkable scene from the American Civil War. Taken in 1864 by Samuel A. Cooley, it depicts a mired Confederate mortar in Fort McAlister, near Savannah, Georgia. The heavy 10-inch seacoast mortar can be seen stuck in its emplacement after Union troops captured the fort on the Ogeechee River. The image provides a glimpse into the harsh realities of war as evidenced by the boot prints visible in the muddy surroundings of this powerful weapon. It showcases not only the destructive force of artillery bombardments but also highlights the challenges faced by soldiers fighting on both sides. The photograph is part of a stereographic pair of wet-collodion glass negatives that have been cleaned and repaired for preservation. Its restoration allows us to appreciate its historical significance and gain insight into field fortifications used during this turbulent period. Fort McAlister served as an important defense point for Confederate forces during the Civil War, protecting Savannah from Union attacks. This image serves as a reminder of the intense battles fought along America's southern banks and offers a window into one specific moment frozen in time. With its rich detail and evocative composition, this print transports viewers back to an era defined by conflict, resilience, and determination. It stands as a testament to our shared history and reminds us of the sacrifices made during this pivotal chapter in American history.
