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
In this evocative photograph, a column of British machine gun carriers makes its way through a quiet French village in the early days of World War Two. The year is 1939, and the ominous clouds of impending conflict loom large on the horizon. The carriers, each mounted with a Bren machine gun, are part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), which had been dispatched to France to support the French military in the face of the advancing German forces. The village, with its quaint stone houses and cobblestone streets, stands in stark contrast to the armored behemoths that pass through it. The machine gun carriers, with their distinctive angled hulls and tracked undercarriages, are a testament to the technological advancements of modern warfare. Their presence in the village serves as a reminder of the harsh realities of war and the imminent disruption it would bring to civilian life. The soldiers in the photograph are focused and determined, their expressions betraying a sense of purpose and duty. They are part of a larger convoy, headed towards a rendezvous point where they will join up with other units and prepare for battle. The villagers, many of whom can be seen watching from their doorways and windows, bear witness to the passing of the British forces with a mixture of curiosity, apprehension, and resignation. This photograph captures a moment in time, a fleeting snapshot of history as it unfolds. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike during the early days of World War Two, and the indelible impact that war has on the world around us.
