FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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.

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
1. Title: "Amicalent Dedications: Two Unique Drawings of British Tommies from the Trenches of World War I, Signed, Dated 1917, and Dedicated to Lieutenant Colonel G. Bradley by Jean-Jacques Berne-Bellecour" 2.. This evocative pair of drawings, both signed, dated 1917, and dedicated to Lieutenant Colonel G. Bradley, offers a poignant glimpse into the artistic expression of the First World War experience. Created by French artist Jean-Jacques Berne-Bellecour (1874-1939), these two drawings of British Tommies, or soldiers, are a testament to the camaraderie and shared hardships that transcended national boundaries during the Great War. The first drawing depicts a group of Tommies huddled around a makeshift fire, their faces etched with the exhaustion and determination that characterized life in the trenches. The second drawing captures the intense focus and resolve of a lone Tommy, his gaze fixed on the horizon as he prepares for the next assault. Berne-Bellecour's masterful use of charcoal and graphite creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer into the heart of the battlefield. The artist's dedication to Lieutenant Colonel Bradley, a British military officer, underscores the spirit of amicalent, or friendship, that emerged between soldiers from different nations amidst the chaos and carnage of the war. These two drawings serve as a powerful reminder of the human connection that endured amidst the devastation of the First World War. The signed and dated inscriptions, along with the artist's signature and the dedication to Lieutenant Colonel Bradley, add an intriguing historical dimension to these evocative works. Jean-Jacques Berne-Bellecour's poignant depictions of British Tommies offer a unique perspective on the history of World War I, inviting us to reflect on the shared experiences and enduring bonds that emerged from the trenches.
