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.

CRIMEAN WAR - BALAKLAVA - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the Crimean War in 1855, capturing a moment frozen in time. The image showcases the ruins of a majestic Genoese castle perched high above an encampment and Balaklava harbor. Through the lens of renowned photographer Roger Fenton, we are transported to this historic site with its rich tapestry of war-torn landscapes. The sepia-toned photograph reveals the remnants of a once-mighty empire, as nature slowly reclaims what was lost. The crumbling walls of the castle stand as silent witnesses to centuries gone by, while tents dotting the encampment below hint at life amidst conflict. Intriguingly, a ship can be seen anchored at the pier nearby, perhaps serving as a lifeline for supplies or reinforcements during this tumultuous period. This visual juxtaposition between destruction and resilience encapsulates both hope and despair that characterized those times. Granger Art on Demand has meticulously preserved this historical gem from their collection. It serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as an invaluable window into our shared human history. As we gaze upon this print today, it reminds us of how far we have come since those days marred by violence and strife. Let this photograph transport you back to mid-19th century Crimea – where echoes of battles fought still linger among these haunting ruins overlooking Balaklava harbor
