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.

Carrier Pigeon (circa 1917) - A Symbol of Courage and Communication in Times of War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white portrait print transports us back to the year 1917, amidst the chaos of World War I. The image showcases a remarkable US carrier pigeon proudly displaying its identification number on its wing. Captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, this photograph encapsulates the crucial role these feathered heroes played during wartime. In an era devoid of advanced technology, carrier pigeons served as vital messengers, bridging communication gaps between soldiers on the frontlines and their commanders behind enemy lines. These intelligent birds fearlessly flew through treacherous skies to deliver critical information that could change the course of battles. The stark contrast captured in this monochromatic format emphasizes both the resilience of these creatures and their significant contributions to history. With meticulous detail, we witness a hand working diligently to attach a small tag bearing numbers onto the bird's delicate wing—a testament to human ingenuity collaborating with nature's gifts. As we gaze upon this poignant scene, it serves as a reminder not only of war's harsh realities but also humanity's unwavering determination for survival and victory. This particular carrier pigeon represents countless others who risked their lives selflessly for our freedom. Let this extraordinary artwork from Fine Art Storehouse transport you back in time—an homage to those brave souls who relied on these magnificent creatures as they fought valiantly across battlefields in Europe during World War I.
