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
This photograph captures a moment of focused determination and excitement among a group of Boy Scouts as they study a map during their first Wood Badge Course in Athens, Greece, in 1947. The image transports us back in time to the 1940s, an era of simple pleasures and the joy of discovery. Dressed in their iconic uniforms, the scouts lean in closely, their eyes fixed on the intricate details of the map spread out before them. Their leaders, equally engaged, look on with pride and encouragement, their faces reflecting the wisdom and experience of seasoned guides. The Wood Badge Course was an essential part of the Scouting program, designed to teach essential skills and leadership abilities. The setting, the ancient city of Athens, adds an extra layer of adventure and historical significance to their training. With the Acropolis and other ancient landmarks in the background, these young scouts were not only learning valuable skills but also immersing themselves in the rich cultural heritage of Greece. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring spirit of Scouting and the importance of exploration, learning, and camaraderie. It invites us to reflect on the importance of these values in our own lives and the impact they can have on shaping the future of generations to come.
