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 photograph captures a significant moment during the Crimean War. Taken in 1855 by renowned photographer Roger Fenton, it showcases a merchant seaman atop a majestic dromedary. The Crimean War was a brutal conflict fought between Russia and an alliance of France, Britain, and the Ottoman Empire. In this image, the seaman sits proudly on his camel against the backdrop of an exterior landscape. The sepia tones add to the historical ambiance of the scene, transporting viewers back in time to witness this unique aspect of wartime transportation. The dromedary itself symbolizes resilience and adaptability in harsh conditions. These desert creatures were invaluable assets during conflicts like the Crimean War due to their ability to traverse challenging terrains with ease. Through Fenton's lens, we are given a glimpse into one man's role as he navigates through war-torn Crimea. This photograph serves as a testament to not only the bravery of soldiers but also those who supported them from behind-the-scenes – such as merchants who ensured supplies reached their destinations safely. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand, this print allows us to appreciate both Fenton's artistry and its historical significance. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and destruction, there are moments of quiet strength that deserve recognition for their contribution to history.
