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 image captures the intensity of the Bombardment of Tripoli during the Italo-Turkish War in 1911-12. The scene unfolds at the Fortress Sultana, located in the Eastern Mediterranean city of Tripoli, Libya. The Italo-Turkish War marked the beginning of Italy's expansionist ambitions in North Africa, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire. The looming threat of the First Balkan War, as Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Montenegro sought to expand their territories at the expense of the Ottoman Empire, forced Turkey to make concessions. By the Treaty of Ouchy, signed on 15 October 1912, Turkey ceded Libya, Rhodes, and the Dodecanese Islands to Italy. The Bombardment of Tripoli, which began in September 1911, was a significant event leading up to this treaty. Italian forces, determined to secure their claim to Libya, launched a naval and land bombardment of Tripoli's fortifications. The fortress Sultana, a key strategic point, was a primary target. The photograph illustrates the chaos and destruction wrought by the bombardment. Smoke rises from the fortress, and the water around it is churned by the impact of shells. The Italian flag can be seen flying proudly on a nearby ship, symbolizing the Italian claim to the land. The Bombardment of Tripoli marked the beginning of Italy's colonial rule in Libya, which lasted until 1943. This historical image offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in European history, as the balance of power in the Mediterranean shifted and the First World War approached.
