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 poignant moment in history as Prince Edward, later King Edward VIII, meets brave Pataila soldiers who had lost limbs during their active service in the British Indian Army during World War One. The Prince of Wales, born in 1894, is seen here in 1917, wearing his military uniform adorned with insignia of his rank. The Pataila soldiers, proudly wearing their turbans and traditional attire, had fought valiantly for the British Empire, contributing significantly to the Allied war effort. The scene unfolds in an outdoor setting, with a serene backdrop of lush greenery and a clear blue sky. The Prince, with a compassionate expression, extends his hand in greeting to one of the soldiers, while others look on with respect and admiration. This poignant encounter underscores the sacrifices made by soldiers from diverse backgrounds during the war. The photograph is a testament to the historical ties between the British monarchy and the Indian subcontinent, a legacy of imperialism that shaped the course of world history. The image also serves as a reminder of the shared experiences and sacrifices of soldiers from different parts of the world during times of conflict. This photograph, taken in 1917, is a powerful visual representation of the human spirit and resilience in the face of adversity. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers, like the Pataila soldiers, during World War One and the enduring bonds forged between different peoples and nations in times of conflict.
