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 intriguing photograph captures the innovative solution taken during World War II to protect man's best friend from the deadly effects of chemical warfare. In the image, a dog wears a makeshift gas mask, consisting of a bag of impregnated flannel with a mica window secured by an elastic band. The use of such masks was essential during the conflict, as both sides employed toxic gases on the battlefield. The Second World War, which raged from 1939 to 1945, brought about unprecedented challenges for soldiers and civilians alike. The introduction of chemical weapons added a new dimension to the horrors of war, threatening not only human lives but also those of animals. Dogs, in particular, served a crucial role as sentinels, messengers, and companions to the military. Their protection was, therefore, of paramount importance. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people during World War II. The use of flannel, a common fabric at the time, impregnated with chemicals to filter out poisonous gases, was a simple yet effective solution. The mica window allowed the dog to see and breathe while being shielded from the harmful effects of the gas. The photograph, taken in England, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the lengths people went to ensure the safety and well-being of their animals. It is a testament to the deep bond between humans and dogs, which transcended the horrors of war and continues to inspire us today.
