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.

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
The Epic of Arnhem: A Historical Moment in World War II as Newcomers Were Warmly Welcomed Amidst the Chaos of Battle (September 1944, Holland) Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the Second World War, the epic battle of Arnhem unfolded in September 1944, marking a pivotal moment in the Western Front's advance through Belgium and the Netherlands. In this evocative photograph, the arrival of the First Airborne Division, fresh from their transatlantic voyage, is captured as they descend from the sky, welcomed by the local populace with open arms. The scene is set against the darkened night sky, with the faint glow of parachute lights illuminating the Dutch landscape. Gliders and planes from the Royal Air Force (RAF) can be seen in the background, their engines roaring as they prepare for the next wave of reinforcements. Newcomers to the battlefield, these soldiers are greeted not with fear or hostility, but with relief and gratitude from the local inhabitants. Despite the chaos and uncertainty of war, the human spirit shines through as hands reach out to help the new arrivals, a testament to the resilience and solidarity of the people of Arnhem and the surrounding areas. This historical moment, a brief reprieve from the violence and destruction of war, serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and nuances of conflict and the enduring power of human connection. As we reflect on this image from the 1940s, we are reminded of the importance of understanding the past and the role it plays in shaping our present and future. The Epic of Arnhem stands as a testament to the courage and determination of the men and women who fought in the Second World War, and the indomitable spirit of those who lived through it.
