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
Greetings from Palestine: A Christmas Card from the Egyptian Expeditionary Force, 1918-1919 This evocative Christmas card, featuring the Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF) in Palestine during World War I, was sent by Driver F.J. Tribble of the 1/5th (Prince of Wales's) Devonshire Battalion. Dated between 1918 and 1919, the card offers a unique glimpse into the experiences of British soldiers serving in the Middle East during this pivotal period in world history. The Egyptian Expeditionary Force was formed in 1914 to support the British campaign in Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula against the Ottoman Empire. By 1917, the EEF, under the command of General Edmund Allenby, had successfully captured Jerusalem and advanced towards Damascus. The following year, the war in the Middle East came to an end with the signing of the Armistice of Mudros on October 30, 1918. This Christmas card, adorned with a commemorative art image of the EEF, serves as a poignant reminder of the holiday spirit that endured amidst the harsh realities of war. The topographical background depicts the rugged terrain of Palestine, with soldiers in winter uniforms gathered around a campfire, exchanging cheerful greetings. The image is a testament to the camaraderie and resilience that sustained the troops during their arduous campaign. Driver F.J. Tribble's signature on the reverse of the card adds a personal touch, allowing us to connect with the individual experiences of those who served in the Egyptian Expeditionary Force during World War I. This Christmas card is an invaluable historical artifact, offering a unique perspective on a significant moment in military and world history.
