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
Amidst the chaos and destruction of the Western Front during World War I, a beacon of communication and connection emerged in the form of an Army Signal Service wireless station. This photograph, taken between 1914 and 1918, captures a moment in time as soldiers of the 1st Service Wireless Company worked tirelessly to maintain the vital link between the battlefield and command centers. The underground wireless station, hidden from enemy view, was a critical component of the Allied war effort. The soldiers, dressed in their helmets and heavy coats, huddled around the large, bulky radio equipment, their faces focused and determined. The room was filled with the hum of machinery and the crackle of static, as they sent and received messages in Morse code. The tin roof and walls of the dugout provided some protection from the elements and the constant threat of enemy fire. The soldiers worked in shifts, taking turns to man the equipment and send messages to the front lines, to the medical corps, and to the high command. The wireless station was a lifeline, allowing for the coordination of troops, the delivery of vital intelligence, and the organization of supplies and reinforcements. The importance of this wireless station cannot be overstated. In a time of war, when communication was often tenuous and unreliable, the Signal Service played a crucial role in keeping the Allied forces informed and connected. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the soldiers who manned these stations, risking their lives to ensure that the wheels of war continued to turn.
