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 print captures a moment in time at a British shaving saloon in Salonika, Greece during the year 1916. The image showcases British soldiers standing beside the fortified position of the salon, with one soldier seated inside getting a shave. The walls of the hut are adorned with newspaper pages, including some from The Illustrated London News, adding an interesting and historical touch to the scene.
The soldiers appear relaxed yet vigilant in their surroundings, highlighting both the camaraderie and sense of duty that defined their service during this period. The presence of such amenities as a shaving saloon within their fortified position speaks to the importance placed on maintaining personal hygiene and morale even amidst challenging circumstances.
Salonika itself was a crucial port city during World War I, serving as an important strategic location for Allied forces. This photograph not only provides a glimpse into daily life for British soldiers stationed there but also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served in this tumultuous time in history.
Overall, this print is not just a visual record but also a poignant reminder of the resilience and humanity displayed by individuals caught up in global conflict.
