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 image captures the spirit of Christmas at the Front during World War 1, as a group of British soldiers share the contents of a parcel that has been delivered to them from home. The soldiers, huddled together in the muddy trenches, display a sense of camaraderie and jollity as they unpack the treasured gifts and treats. At the heart of the scene, a soldier holds aloft a Christmas pudding, its rich, dark surface glistening with brandy sauce. The soldiers' faces are filled with anticipation and delight, a stark contrast to the harsh realities of life in the trenches. The parcel, a precious link to home and the comforts of civilian life, would have contained much-needed supplies and treats, such as tobacco, chocolate, and homemade goodies. These parcels were a lifeline for the soldiers, providing a small taste of normality amidst the chaos and hardships of war. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the Christmas season, as they spent the festive period away from their families and loved ones. Despite the challenges they faced, the soldiers found ways to celebrate and maintain their spirits, drawing strength from each other and the simple pleasures of home. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during World War 1, highlighting the resilience and determination that defined their experience. The image is a testament to the enduring power of human connection and the importance of the small comforts that can make all the difference in the most difficult of circumstances.
