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.

Gas Masks for Dogs - A Surreal Glimpse into World War II Precautions
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken in 1939, transports us back to a time of uncertainty and fear during the early days of World War II. In this remarkable image, three noble Airedale dogs sit obediently at a kennel in Surrey, England, wearing their specially designed gas masks. Lt Col E. H. Richardson can be seen training these loyal companions for potential air raids. The photograph captures the extraordinary measures taken by the British Home Front to protect not only human lives but also beloved animal companions from the threat of poisonous gas attacks. The dogs' expressions reveal both curiosity and trust as they adjust to their unusual headgear resembling sports helmets. As we gaze upon this archival snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a poignant reminder of the lengths people went to safeguard every aspect of their lives during wartime. It showcases how even our four-legged friends played an essential role on the front lines of defense. The stark contrast between light and shadow emphasizes the gravity of war while highlighting these courageous animals amidst an uncertain landscape. This historical gem offers us a glimpse into an era when humanity's resilience knew no bounds – where even man's best friend was equipped with protective gear against unseen threats. Let this striking image serve as a testament to our shared history and remind us that love knows no boundaries – not even those imposed by war or adversity.
