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 evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the aftermath of the First World War. The image, titled 'Les chefs d'etat Allies a Paris; La reine Elisabeth sortant de Saint-Gervais, l'eglise parisienne atteinte, le jour du Vendredi-Saint, par un obus allemand' (The Allied Heads of State in Paris: Queen Elisabeth Leaving Saint-Gervais Church, Struck by a German Shell on Good Friday, 1918), was published in the French magazine L'Illustration in 1924. The photograph depicts Queen Elisabeth of Belgium, nee Duchess Elisabeth Gabrielle Valerie Marie of Bavaria, making her way down the steps of Saint-Gervais-et-Saint-Protais Church in Paris. Accompanied by a man, believed to be a member of her entourage, the Queen appears determined and resilient despite the destruction and chaos surrounding her. The church, a symbol of peace and spiritual refuge, lies in ruins, its doors battered and its facade pockmarked by shrapnel. The photograph is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Allied leaders and the people of Paris during the tumultuous years of the First World War. The image of the Queen, dressed in mourning attire, leaving the church on Good Friday, underscores the somber mood of the post-war period and the long road to recovery and reconciliation. The photograph's creator remains unknown, adding to its mystique and historical significance. Today, it serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
