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
Well, Here's Luck!" - British Trench Scene, 1917: A Moment of Camaraderie and Courage before the Storm This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the grim reality of the Western Front during World War I. Taken in 1917, the image shows a group of British soldiers huddled together in a dugout, their faces etched with a mix of determination, anxiety, and camaraderie. The soldiers, all wearing heavy coats and helmets, have gathered around a makeshift table, raising their glasses in a toast to their luck and survival in the face of the imminent battle. The scene is reminiscent of Fortunino Matania's famous World War I painting of the same name, which depicted a similar moment of solidarity and hope in the midst of the chaos and despair of the battlefield. The soldiers' expressions convey a sense of unity and shared experience, as they acknowledge the risks they are about to face and the importance of staying together in the face of adversity. The dimly lit dugout, with its rough walls and piles of equipment, underscores the harsh conditions under which these men lived and fought. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who endured the horrors of trench warfare, and the importance of the bonds of friendship and comradeship that sustained them through the darkest of times. This powerful photograph is a testament to the human spirit and the indomitable will of the soldiers who fought in the Great War. It invites us to reflect on the sacrifices they made, and the lessons we can learn from their courage and determination in the face of adversity. The photograph is a valuable historical record of the experiences of the British soldiers during World War I, and a reminder of the importance of remembering the past as we strive to build a better future. It is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, and the enduring power of the human spirit to rise above even the most difficult of challenges.
