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 showcases a remarkable statuette of an ancient Greek hoplite, or heavy foot soldier, dating back to the early 20th century. Housed in the prestigious Berlin Museum, this exquisite piece offers a glimpse into the military prowess and artistic finesse of ancient Greek civilization. The stoic figure stands tall with an air of strength and determination, embodying the essence of a formidable warrior. Though his spear is absent from this particular depiction, one can easily imagine it once held firmly in his hands – a symbol of his skill and readiness for battle. Every intricate detail on this sculpture speaks volumes about the rich history and culture that birthed it. From meticulously crafted armor plates adorning his body to the carefully sculpted facial features conveying both intensity and composure, every aspect reflects the mastery of ancient Greek artistry. As we gaze upon this portrait-format statue through time's lens, we are transported to an era where military might was revered as much as artistic expression. It serves as a powerful reminder not only of Greece's contribution to warfare but also its immense influence on Western civilization as a whole. Through this mesmerizing image captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, we are granted access to appreciate both historical significance and aesthetic beauty simultaneously. This print truly captures the spirit of an age-old army that shaped empires while leaving behind legacies etched in stone for generations to come.
