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.

Halifax Harbor, 1917 - A Glimpse into the Aftermath of Destruction
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures the haunting scene that unfolded in Halifax Harbor on December 6,1917. The image focuses on the wreckage strewn across the railroad yards on the Richmond side of the harbor, a stark reminder of the catastrophic explosion and fire that devastated this Canadian city. The chaos is evident as twisted metal beams, shattered train carriages, and debris from buildings littered with rubble dominate the landscape. It serves as a testament to both human resilience and vulnerability in times of tragedy. The disaster was triggered by a collision between two ships—the French vessel Mont Blanc carrying highly explosive cargo and Belgian relief ship SS Imo—in what would become one of history's largest non-nuclear explosions. The resulting blast unleashed an unimaginable force that decimated entire neighborhoods, claiming thousands of lives and leaving countless others injured or homeless. In this somber snapshot frozen in time, we witness nature's relentless power juxtaposed against man-made structures reduced to ruins. The desolate shoreline bears witness to a community forever changed by failure—failure to prevent such devastation but also failure to recognize our shared responsibility for peace. As we reflect upon this chilling image captured over a century ago, it serves as a solemn reminder that even amidst destruction lies an opportunity for unity and rebuilding—a testament to humanity's unwavering spirit in face of adversity.
