23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
In this print titled "Wartime Respite" we are transported back to the year 1918 during World War I. The image captures a moment of joy and respite amidst the chaos of war, as American soldiers dance with YMCA girls on the balcony of the casino at Aix-Les-Bains. Leased by the YMCA specifically for entertaining servicemen from the American Expeditionary Force (AEF), this venue provided a much-needed escape for these brave men in uniform. As they twirl their partners around, their faces radiate happiness and relief, if only momentarily forgetting about the hardships they faced on a daily basis. The composition beautifully showcases both men and women coming together in unity, highlighting how moments like these brought solace to those far away from home. It is evident that even amidst war's devastation, human connections were still being forged. This historical photograph serves as a poignant reminder of not only the resilience displayed by our military forces but also highlights how organizations such as YMCA played an essential role in providing support and entertainment during wartime. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, it allows us to reflect on the sacrifices made by these soldiers while appreciating their ability to find solace through simple pleasures – reminding us all of our shared humanity even during times of conflict.
