31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 evocative lantern slide captures the daily life of the Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (EME) of the 8th Army during World War Two in Italy, 1943. The image shows Corporal E B Heap from Manchester and Craftsman T E Jenkinson from London at work in the EME carpenter's repair shop. The men are intently focused on their tasks, surrounded by the tools of their trade and the remnants of military equipment. The EME played a crucial role in maintaining and repairing vehicles, electrical and mechanical systems, and other essential equipment for the British military during the Italian campaign. The harsh conditions of war and the rugged terrain of Italy put immense strain on the machinery, making the work of the EME all the more vital. The lantern slide offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of these soldiers, who were essential to the smooth running of the military operation. The image also serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served during the war. The slide is dated 1943, a pivotal year in the Italian campaign, which saw the Allies make significant gains against the Axis powers. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers, providing a humanizing element to the larger historical narrative. The lantern slide is a valuable historical document, offering insight into the experiences of the soldiers who served in the EME during World War Two. It is a testament to their skill, determination, and resilience in the face of adversity.
