FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 photograph captures the immense scale of World War I, showcasing miles of sandbags meticulously arranged in the construction of a British trench near Fricourt. The significance of these sandbags becomes apparent when considering the challenging terrain they were built upon - marshy soil that posed numerous obstacles for soldiers on the Western Front. Taken in France during the years 1914-1918, this image transports us back to a time when nations clashed and lives were forever changed. The sepia tones add an air of nostalgia, reminding us that this was an early stage in what would become one of history's most devastating conflicts. The sheer magnitude of sandbags depicted here speaks volumes about the dedication and resourcefulness required to wage war under such difficult circumstances. Each bag represents countless hours spent by brave men constructing defensive fortifications against enemy fire. As we gaze upon this print from Granger Art on Demand, let us remember not only those who fought valiantly but also those whose lives were lost or irrevocably altered by World War I. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst destruction and chaos, human resilience can prevail. May it inspire us to strive for peace and understanding in our own time.
