Chief Forces Joffre Metalwork Regiments Statuette
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 statuette depicts General Joseph Joffre, the esteemed Commander-in-Chief of the French Forces during World War I. The sculpture, created in the French School in 1914, captures the intense focus and determination of this military genius. Joffre's prominent position and confident posture convey his leadership and strategic prowess, as he led the French Army to several early victories against the invading German forces. Born in 1852 in Cavaillon, France, Joffre rose through the ranks of the military, serving in the Franco-Prussian War and the colonial wars in Indochina and Madagascar. His impressive military career culminated in his appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the French Army in 1911. When war broke out in 1914, Joffre quickly mobilized the French forces and launched a series of offensives against the Germans, most notably the Battle of the Marne, which halted the German advance on Paris. Despite later setbacks, Joffre's leadership and strategic vision were instrumental in keeping the French and Allied forces in the war. This metal statuette is a testament to the enduring legacy of General Joffre, who remains a symbol of French military courage and resilience during the First World War. The intricate metalwork and attention to detail in the sculpture further enhance its historical significance and make it a valuable addition to any collection of military memorabilia or World War I history.
