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.

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 intriguing photograph, a lady visitor engages in a light-hearted conversation with an orderly regarding a patient in a field hospital during World War I. The orderly, identified as Acting Sergeant Herbert Gibson with the service number 386202 and affiliated with the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance of the Royal Army Medical Corps, casually mentions that the patient is heading back to the front lines. The lady visitor is taken aback, expressing her concern with the statement, "Good heavens - whatever for?" The orderly replies that the patient "thinks [he] know who done it." This humorous exchange offers a glimpse into the daily life of a field hospital during the Great War. The image captures the resilient spirit of those working on the front lines, even amidst the harsh realities of war. The patient's return to the front lines suggests that he may have been a repeat offender or a soldier who was unable to recover quickly from his injuries. The conversation between the lady visitor and the orderly highlights the camaraderie and dark humor that existed among the medical staff during this time. Herbert Gibson, born in September 1889, served valiantly as an acting sergeant during the war. His role in the field ambulance would have involved transporting and caring for wounded soldiers, often under challenging conditions. The photograph provides a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the medical personnel during the war, as they worked tirelessly to save lives and provide comfort to the injured. This evocative image is a testament to the historical significance of the 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance and the Royal Army Medical Corps during World War I. It offers a unique perspective into the daily life of a field hospital and the courage and humor that sustained those who served during this time.
