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 the body armour worn by German Sturmtruppen (Storm Troops) during the First World War in Verdun, France, in 1917. The image showcases a soldier dressed in full military attire, including a helmet adorned with battle scars and a thick moustache that adds to his rugged appearance. With a cigarette casually hanging from his lips, he exudes an air of confidence amidst the chaos of war. The intricate details of the body armour are strikingly visible as it covers every inch of his torso, providing protection against enemy fire. The puttees wrapped around his legs further emphasize the meticulousness with which these soldiers prepared for battle. Standing against the backdrop of Lorraine's picturesque landscape, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless men during this tumultuous period. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to this powerful image while transporting us back to one of history's most devastating conflicts. It is through photographs like these that we gain insight into not only the physical toll but also the mental fortitude required to endure such harrowing circumstances. As we reflect on this piece captured by an unknown creator nearly a century ago, let us remember those who fought bravely on both sides and honor their memory by striving for peace in our own time.
