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.

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 significant moment in history - The French Foreign Legion in Syria during the 20th century. Established in 1831, the Legion was renowned for its elite unit of foreign volunteers who played a vital role in expanding and protecting France's overseas territories. This particular image showcases the legionnaires on horseback, highlighting their military prowess and cavalry expertise. Taken between the 1920s and 1930s, this monochrome photograph portrays a group of brave men mounted on powerful horses against the backdrop of an impressive building. These soldiers volunteered to serve their country far away from home, embodying dedication and loyalty. During this time period, Syria was under French governance as per a League of Nations mandate between the two World Wars. This historical context adds depth to the image, emphasizing France's presence in the Middle East during that era. The artistry captured by AccuSoft Inc. , with permission from Heritage Images, allows us to appreciate not only the bravery of these soldiers but also serves as a reminder of their contribution to global conflicts.
