23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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 historic moment in Lille, France during World War I. Taken on 7th October 1918, it showcases the jubilation of French children as they cheer their British liberators. The image beautifully depicts the joy and relief felt by the people of Lille after enduring years of occupation. In this snapshot frozen in time, a group of happy children line an avenue to welcome the soldiers on horseback. Their faces beaming with excitement and hope for a brighter future, they wave flags and cheer with unbridled enthusiasm. The presence of horses adds an element of grandeur to the scene, symbolizing strength and freedom. Liberation is palpable in every corner of this photograph - from the wide smiles on children's faces to the jubilant atmosphere that fills the street. It serves as a powerful reminder of how war can bring out both unimaginable suffering and incredible resilience within communities. Preserved by Historica Graphica Collection, this monochrome image not only documents a significant historical event but also encapsulates universal concepts such as courage, unity, and triumph over adversity. As we gaze upon these young faces filled with hope amidst turmoil, we are reminded that even in times of darkness there is always room for celebration when freedom is restored.
