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 remains of The Druid tank, a relic of the brutal battles that took place on the St. Julien Poelcapelle Road during World War I. Circa 1917, this image offers a haunting glimpse into the desolation and destruction left in the wake of the conflict. The Druid tank, a British Mark I, was likely abandoned after sustaining significant damage during the Second Battle of Passchendaele. Its stripped trunks and damaged tracks bear testament to the relentless combat that raged across the Belgian landscape. The once formidable military machine now lies silent and forlorn, a stark reminder of the devastating impact of war. The road, once bustling with activity, now stands empty, adding to the sense of desolation and abandonment. The landscape, scarred by the ravages of war, is a far cry from the peaceful, pastoral scenes that once defined this part of Belgium. This poignant photograph invites us to reflect on the sacrifices made during the Great War and the enduring legacy of its aftermath.
