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
The print titled "Blighted Blighty" captures the poignant story of a subaltern on leave in 1917, returning to his homeland only to find it completely consumed by the war effort. The image depicts a young man, clearly disheartened and lonely, as he navigates through a society where everyone is preoccupied with "doing their bit" for the war.
His girlfriends have become nurses and volunteers, too busy working tirelessly to spare him any time or attention. The women around him are focused on supporting the troops overseas, leaving him feeling isolated and forgotten in his own country.
This historical snapshot offers a glimpse into the sacrifices made by individuals during wartime, highlighting the emotional toll it takes on those left behind. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact that global conflicts can have on personal relationships and societal norms.
Through this powerful visual narrative, viewers are transported back in time to witness firsthand the sad sufferings of a young man caught in the midst of an all-encompassing war effort. "Blighted Blighty" is not just a photograph - it's a window into history that sheds light on the human experience during times of turmoil.
