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 intensity and chaos of the Battle of Benghazi during the Italo-Turkish War, fought between Italy and the Ottoman Empire over Libyan territories in North Africa from September 1911 to February 1912. The image, dated October 19, 1911, depicts Italian soldiers engaged in fierce combat with their Turkish counterparts on the battlefield. The scene is filled with the sounds of gunfire and the cacophony of war, as men from both sides clash with determination and resolve. In the foreground, an Italian soldier, his face etched with the strain of battle, takes aim with his rifle, while his comrades provide covering fire. Behind him, the remnants of the Turkish army can be seen retreating, their ranks disorganized and their morale seemingly broken. The landscape around them is barren and desolate, a fitting backdrop for the brutal conflict that unfolded here. The Battle of Benghazi was a pivotal moment in the Italo-Turkish War, marking the beginning of the end for Ottoman rule in Libya. The Italian army, led by General Ameglio, had landed in Benghazi on October 16, 1911, and quickly advanced on the city. The Turkish forces, caught off guard, were unable to mount an effective defense, and the Italians were able to capture the city and secure a significant victory. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides during the Italo-Turkish War, and the far-reaching consequences of the conflict for the people of Libya and the wider region.
