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 print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing Australian soldiers at the Union Jack Club on Waterloo Road in Lambeth. Established in 1907 as a haven for servicemen visiting London, this iconic club played a vital role during both world wars. The photograph was commissioned by Orient Line, also known as the Orient Steam Navigation Company. Taken in 1915 by Adolph Augustus Boucher of Bedford Lemere, this image showcases the original building that stood proudly before being replaced with a new structure at the junction of Waterloo Road and Sandell Street. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave soldiers who fought for their country during World War I. The presence of Australian troops highlights the Commonwealth's contribution to the war effort and symbolizes unity among nations against a common enemy.
