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
A Moment of Compassion: A British Trooper Shares His Christmas Rations with His Horse on the Western Front during World War I (1916) Amidst the harsh realities of war, this heartwarming image captures a moment of kindness and compassion between a British trooper and his horse during the Christmas season of 1916 on the Western Front. The trooper, dressed in his military uniform, sits on his mount, reaching out to share his Christmas rations with his faithful companion. The horse, with a look of anticipation in its eyes, nuzzles its head towards the trooper's hand. The image is a poignant reminder of the deep bond between soldiers and their horses during wartime. Horses were essential to the British cavalry during World War I, and they played a crucial role in transportation, reconnaissance, and even in combat. The troops relied on their horses for long hours in the field, and this moment of sharing rations was a small gesture of appreciation and gratitude. The Christmas rations, a welcome treat for the soldiers, were often meager and included items such as chocolate, tobacco, and dried fruit. The fact that the trooper chose to share his rations with his horse speaks volumes about the deep connection between the soldiers and their animals. This sentimental photograph, taken during one of the most brutal conflicts in history, offers a glimpse into the humanity and kindness that existed even in the midst of war. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, acts of compassion and kindness can bring light and hope.
