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
In this evocative photograph from 1944, Sir Winston Churchill, the iconic British Prime Minister, is seen with his youngest daughter Mary Churchill and his wife Clementine, as they pay a six-hour visit to anti-flying bomb defences in Southern England. The Churchill family's tour came during a pivotal moment in World War II, as the Allied forces were facing intense aerial attacks from enemy forces. The image captures a moment of resilience and determination, as the Churchill family stands near a gun site, surrounded by military personnel. Winston Churchill, dressed in a suit and hat, looks intently at something in the distance, while Mary, dressed in a smart coat and hat, gazes at her father with a sense of pride and admiration. Clementine, wearing a stylish hat and coat, engages in a conversation with General Sir Frederick Pile, the Commander of Anti-Aircraft Command. The backdrop of the photograph is the ominous sky, filled with the ominous clouds of war. The anti-aircraft guns, ready to defend against the enemy, are a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by families during wartime, as they stood by their loved ones and their country, even in the face of danger. The tour of the gun sites was an opportunity for the Churchill family to see firsthand the efforts being made to protect the British people from the threat of flying bombs. It was also a morale-boosting gesture, demonstrating to the public that their leaders were actively engaged in the war effort and sharing in the hardships of the population. This photograph, taken by the Illustrated London News Ltd, is a powerful reminder of the spirit of resilience and determination that defined the British people during World War II. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Winston Churchill and his family, who continued to inspire hope and courage in the face of adversity.
