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 evocative photograph captures the aftermath of a devastating explosion during the Battle of the Scarpe at the Battle of Arras in World War I. The scene is set in the small French village of Monchy-le-Preux, where the relentless clash between Allied and German forces had left a trail of destruction in its wake. In the foreground, the charred remains of a German ammunition wagon lie scattered across the muddy terrain, the remnants of a direct hit that had shattered the wagon and its deadly cargo. The air is thick with the acrid smell of gunpowder and the haunting silence that follows the chaos of battle. The ground around the wreckage is pockmarked with craters, a testament to the intense shelling that had taken place. In the distance, the silhouettes of soldiers from both sides can be seen, their figures small against the backdrop of the smoky battlefield. The year was 1917, and the Great War was entering its third year. The Battle of Arras, which lasted from April to May, was one of the largest engagements on the Western Front, with both sides suffering heavy losses. The Battle of the Scarpe was a crucial part of this larger battle, with the Allies making significant gains against the German defenses. This poignant image serves as a powerful reminder of the brutal realities of war and the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides. It is a testament to the courage and resilience of those who fought, and a reminder of the enduring impact of conflict on the world.
