Bank Cavalry Fallen Falling Helping Pack Packhorse Steep
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
Amidst the chaotic backdrop of the Western Front during World War One, a cavalry pack horse takes an unexpected tumble down a steep bank. The horse, laden with supplies for the advancing troops, seems to have lost its footing, causing it to topple over in a heap. Three determined soldiers rush to the scene, their faces etched with concern as they attempt to help the animal back on its feet. The soldiers' uniforms and equipment are a testament to the harsh realities of trench warfare, with mud-splattered uniforms and weapons at the ready. The steepness of the bank and the precarious position of the horse and soldiers highlight the inherent danger and physical demands of wartime transport. This poignant moment of human compassion for an animal companion in the midst of the Great War underscores the camaraderie and resilience that existed between soldiers and their animals during this tumultuous time in history. Circa 1916.
