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.

The Canadians at Ypres, 1915
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and poignant depiction of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry during the early days of the Battle of Ypres on the Western Front. The black-and-white photograph, painted by the renowned British artist William Barnes Wollen (1857-1936), captures the raw emotion and intensity of the moment as the soldiers of the 8th Regiment, part of the 80th Brigade, 27th Division, British Expeditionary Force, stand resolute on Bellewaerde Ridge on May 8, 1915. The scene is set against the backdrop of the harsh realities of war, with the soldiers clad in heavy uniforms and carrying their weapons, their faces etched with determination and a hint of exhaustion. Smoke rises from the battlefield in the distance, a reminder of the intense action that has taken place and the ongoing conflict. The soldiers, a part of the Stonewall Brigade under the command of General Snow, are shown in a tight formation, their unity and resolve a testament to their unwavering commitment to their cause and to their allies. This historical image is a significant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the Canadian soldiers during World War I. The Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, one of the first Canadian military regiments, played a crucial role in the defense of Ypres and helped to turn the tide of the battle in favor of the Allied forces. The painting, with its intricate details and evocative imagery, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of conflict and struggle, and serving as a tribute to the men and women who served and sacrificed during the Great War.
