23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 the heart of Southville during the tumultuous years of the 1914-1918 war, an extraordinary tale of courage and compassion unfolded. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, a small Yorkshire Terrier named Southville Beau emerged as an unlikely hero. With unwavering determination, Beau embarked on a mission to collect pennies for the Wool Fund, a charitable initiative aimed at providing essential warm clothing for the brave soldiers in the trenches. The print captures the spirit of this remarkable dog as he proudly displays his impressive collection of three thousand pennies. His eyes gleam with the satisfaction of a job well done, and his tail wags in anticipation of the difference his efforts will make. The image is a poignant reminder of the power of community spirit and the lengths people, and even animals, would go to support those in need during this pivotal moment in history. The Wool Fund was a vital source of comfort for the soldiers, as they braved the harsh conditions of the trenches. Knitted socks and balaclava helmets were distributed to keep them warm and protected from the elements. Beau's tireless fundraising efforts contributed significantly to this cause, ensuring that countless soldiers received the essential items they needed to endure the harsh realities of war. This print is a testament to the resilience and generosity that defined the human spirit during the 1914-1918 war. It serves as a powerful reminder of the impact that even the smallest actions can have on the lives of others, and the unbreakable bond between man and man's best friend.
