31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 significant moment in history - the construction of a pontoon bridge across the Modder River during the Boer War in South Africa, 1900. The image, taken by renowned photographers Underwood & Underwood, showcases the remarkable engineering skills of the Royal Engineers who built this vital lifeline for military transport. In just two hours, this temporary bridge was erected to ensure supplies and troops could traverse the treacherous river with ease. The scene is filled with activity as horse-drawn wagons and carts make their way across, driven by determined men dressed in military attire. Horses play an essential role in this operation, demonstrating their strength and agility as they navigate through water. The monochrome composition adds depth to this historical snapshot, emphasizing both the harshness of war and the resilience of those involved. It transports us back to a time when conflicts were fought on distant shores using traditional means of transportation. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder not only of our past but also of human ingenuity and adaptability in times of adversity. It symbolizes how bridges can connect nations physically while bridging gaps between cultures and generations emotionally. Underwood & Underwood's photographic expertise has immortalized this pivotal moment from over a century ago for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
