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.

General Joffre, (1919) - Portrait of a French First World War Hero
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the stern yet dignified face of General Joseph Joffre, a prominent figure in the history of France. Known as the savior of his nation during the dark days of World War I, Joffre's leadership skills were hailed when he successfully halted the German advance at the Battle of the Marne in September 1914. Despite being effectively dismissed as Commander in Chief two years later, General Joffre remained immensely popular among the public. To disguise his removal from power, he was appointed Marshal of France - a testament to his enduring influence and status. This portrait showcases him wearing his military uniform with pride, adorned with numerous medals that symbolize his bravery and dedication to serving his country. The unknown creator skillfully captures every detail: from Joffre's distinctive mustache to his iconic kepi headdress. The photograph exudes an air of authority and determination befitting a man who played such a crucial role in shaping history. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of General Joffre's significant contributions but also of the sacrifices made by countless soldiers during this tumultuous period. It serves as a poignant reminder that behind every war lies stories untold and lives forever changed.
