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 bronze figure depicts an Italian bomber in the heat of battle during the First World War. The soldier is dressed in the distinctive Farina helmet, a protective headgear characterized by its round shape and distinctive metal ear flaps, or Lippmann Paraguasances. The ear flaps were designed by French engineer René Paraguas and were widely adopted by various military forces to shield soldiers' ears from the cold and gas attacks. The Italian bomber is shown in a dynamic pose, throwing a disc-shaped grenade with all his might. The intricate details of the figure's uniform, equipment, and facial expression convey the intensity and danger of trench warfare. The bronze material adds to the sculpture's authenticity and durability, making it a valuable historical artifact. This Italian bronze figure is a testament to the courage and resilience of soldiers during the First World War. The use of the Farina helmet and Lippmann Paraguasances highlights the technological advancements and adaptations made during this time to enhance soldiers' survival and combat effectiveness. The disc-shaped grenade further emphasizes the destructive power and innovation employed in the war effort. The Italian School of sculpture is renowned for its mastery of bronze casting and figurative art. This bronze figure is a prime example of the artistic and historical significance of this tradition. The sculpture's intricate details and lifelike portrayal of the Italian bomber make it an essential addition to any military history or art collection.
