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
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in World War II history as British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (right, in overcoat) and Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery (center, in beret) cross the Rhine River on the German-held east bank on March 25, 1945. Accompanying them are Field Marshal Sir Alan Brooke (immediately behind Churchill) and US commanders, with soldiers and guards in tow. This scene marks the beginning of Operation Plunder, the Allied operation to cross the Rhine and advance into Germany. The Rhine, a formidable barrier, had long been a symbol of the boundary between the Allied and Axis powers. Crossing it was a significant milestone in the European theater of the war. Churchill's presence underscores the strategic importance of the operation and the determination of the Allies to bring an end to the conflict. Montgomery, a key military leader during the war, had planned the operation meticulously. The successful crossing of the Rhine paved the way for the Allied forces to push deeper into German territory and ultimately secure victory. This photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of the Allied forces and their leaders during one of the most critical moments of the war. The photograph, taken by an unidentified photographer, is a valuable historical record of this important event. It provides a glimpse into the tense and momentous atmosphere surrounding the crossing of the Rhine and the beginning of the final push towards the defeat of Nazi Germany.
