31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 poignant moment in history during World War II. Taken in Sicily, 1943, it showcases the jubilant homecoming of Sicilian soldiers who have been freed from prison camps by Allied forces. The image exudes an atmosphere of celebration and relief as men and women cheerfully welcome their loved ones back into their arms. The composition beautifully portrays a mid-shot of the returning soldiers standing on the back of a truck, surrounded by throngs of ecstatic family members and friends. Their faces are filled with joy and gratitude for their newfound freedom. The resilience and determination etched on their expressions serve as a testament to the indomitable spirit that prevailed amidst the chaos of war. Photographed by Nick Parrino, this snapshot encapsulates Operation Husky's success—a pivotal military campaign that marked the beginning of Italy's liberation from fascist rule. It is a powerful reminder of how unity among nations can triumph over adversity. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical gem from its collection without any commercial intentions. Instead, it serves as an invaluable visual document that immortalizes these brave Sicilian soldiers' triumphant return home after enduring unimaginable hardships during WWII.
