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 takes us back in time to the city of Kabul, Afghanistan, during the tumultuous era of the Second Anglo-Afghan War. Captured by renowned photographer John Burke, this sepia-toned image transports us to a moment frozen in history. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, our eyes are drawn to a large group of people gathered outdoors. Their faces tell stories of resilience and determination amidst the chaos that surrounded them. Each individual seems to carry their own burden, yet they stand together as a united front against an uncertain future. The backdrop reveals glimpses of Kabul's architectural beauty - ancient buildings with intricate designs that have witnessed countless generations pass through their doors. The city's rich cultural heritage is evident even in this war-torn setting. John Burke's lens captures not only the physicality but also the spirit of Kabul during this challenging period. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amid conflict and strife, life goes on for ordinary people who continue to find solace and strength within their communities. This print from Fine Art Storehouse offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on history and appreciate both the resilience of humanity and the power of visual storytelling.
