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 evocative photograph captures the moment the 5th Battalion Connaught Rangers, part of the 10th (Irish) Division, arrived in Basingstoke, England, in May 1915, before departing for the Gallipoli campaign during the First World War. The soldiers, hailing from Ireland, are seen marching through the town with their equipment and supplies, their determined expressions reflecting the gravity of the situation. Dressed in their uniforms and carrying rifles, they exude a sense of discipline and readiness. The scene is set against the backdrop of a quiet English town, with civilians and children watching from the sidelines, offering a poignant reminder of the world being turned upside down by the Great War. The 10th Division, which was formed in August 1914, was the first all-Irish division to be raised for the British Army during WW1. The Connaught Rangers, a famous Irish regiment with a rich history, had been stationed in India before being called to fight in Europe. The Gallipoli campaign, which took place from April to December 1915, was a costly and ultimately unsuccessful attempt by the Allies to control the Dardanelles and secure a sea route to Russia. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, as these brave men prepared to leave their homeland and embark on a dangerous and uncertain journey.
