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 print captures a group of Belgian soldiers from the 9th Mixed Brigade during the Battle of Liege in Belgium, which took place from 5-16 August 1914. In this image, we see these brave men standing tall in their military uniforms, armed with guns and rifles, ready to defend their country against the invading German forces. The significance of this battle cannot be overstated. As Germany launched its invasion on Belgium on 4 August 1914, the Belgians placed their hopes on the strategic fortifications of Liege. For eleven days, these determined defenders held out against relentless attacks by the Germans. Their resistance not only bought valuable time for France but also slowed down the enemy's advance towards French territory. However, despite their heroic efforts, they could not withstand heavy artillery bombardment forever. Eventually, their defense was broken and Liege fell into German hands. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these Belgian soldiers during World War I. It symbolizes courage and resilience in times of adversity. The monochrome composition adds a sense of gravity to the scene while highlighting every detail - from expressions on faces to intricate military attire. As we reflect upon this historical moment captured by an unknown creator over a century ago, let us pay tribute to all those who fought valiantly for their countries during one of humanity's darkest periods – World War I.
