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 takes us back in time to the heart of Dover Castle's secret wartime tunnels in 1945. Stepping into the frame, we find ourselves immersed in history as we witness a crucial moment within these underground corridors. The image showcases the Annexe Level Underground Hospital, a vital medical dressing station constructed during World War II. Its purpose was to provide immediate care for casualties, offering solace and healing amidst the chaos of war. The hospital continued its noble service well into the 1950s. In this particular scene, Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) Orderlies can be seen carefully wheeling a stretcher-case along a dimly lit corridor. Their determined expressions reveal their unwavering commitment to saving lives and providing comfort to those wounded by conflict. The photograph exudes an air of solemnity and resilience, capturing both the physical challenges faced by medical personnel during wartime and their unyielding dedication to their duty. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who selflessly served on the frontlines. Preserved through time, this powerful image from Historic England Photo Library allows us to reflect upon our shared history while honoring those who valiantly fought for peace during one of humanity's darkest periods.
