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
Transport Destroyed: A Glimpse into the Devastation of World War I". This photo print, captured by J. B. Helsby in October 1918, transports us back to the haunting aftermath of World War I on the home front in England. The image showcases a shell-riddled motor from the L. & N. W. Railway Horticultural show at Euston Square, serving as a stark reminder of the destruction inflicted upon road transport during this tumultuous period. The landscape is filled with remnants of what was once a bustling exhibition, now reduced to ruins by the ravages of war. The shattered car lies abandoned amidst debris and rubble, symbolizing not only physical devastation but also financial turmoil and disrupted lifestyles. In this poignant snapshot, we witness how transportation systems that were once integral to daily life have been rendered useless by conflict. The railroad tracks leading towards the exhibition grounds stand as silent witnesses to an era forever altered by war. As we examine this archival piece closely, it serves as a somber reflection on Europe's collective experience during those dark years between 1914-1918. It reminds us of the resilience and determination exhibited by communities across Britain who faced immense challenges on their home soil. Through its powerful portrayal of destruction and loss, this photograph invites contemplation about the impact of war on society while honoring those who endured such hardships during one of history's most defining moments.
