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 transports us back to the tumultuous era of the American Civil War. Taken in April 1865, it showcases an extreme line of Confederate works in Cold Harbor, Virginia. The image captures the stark reality of war as we witness a formidable barricade constructed by Confederate forces. The composition is strikingly powerful, with a row of tall trees framing the scene on one side and a sturdy wooden fence running parallel to the works on the other. This juxtaposition highlights both nature's beauty and man's destructive capabilities during times of conflict. The absence of any human presence adds an eerie quality to this photograph, emphasizing the desolation that often accompanies war. It prompts us to reflect upon the countless lives lost or forever changed within these very surroundings. As we delve into history through this remarkable visual document from Gardner's Photographic Sketch Book, we are reminded of how photography can serve as a time machine, transporting us directly into significant moments that shaped our world. Through this lens captured by John Reekie, we gain insight into not only military strategy but also the immense impact that such defensive structures had on shaping battle outcomes. In essence, this print serves as a poignant reminder of our collective past and encourages us to contemplate its lessons for our present and future endeavors.
