23rd Enjoying Joffre Lunch Staff
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 the moment of respite for General Joseph Joffre (1852-1931) and his staff during the harsh October days of the First World War in 1915. The image, taken on the 23rd of that month, depicts the French military leader in an open-air setting, enjoying a dejeuner (lunch) with his trusted advisors amidst the rugged terrain. The scene is set against the backdrop of a vast, muddy landscape, dotted with military tents and equipment, reminding us of the challenging conditions under which the Allied forces fought. General Joffre, dressed in a heavy military coat and wearing a stern expression, sits at the head of the table, his staff gathered around him. The men, all in uniform, appear focused and attentive, their faces reflecting the gravity of the situation. The table is laden with a simple yet hearty meal, including bread, meat, and wine, a testament to the importance of sustenance in the face of adversity. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is an intriguing glimpse into the daily life of a military commander during wartime. It offers a poignant reminder of the human element in the larger historical narrative, revealing the resilience and determination of those who fought to shape the course of history. This image, with its rich historical significance, is an essential addition to any collection focusing on the First World War, military history, or the life of General Joffre. Originally published in the Illustrated London News on December 7, 1915, this print is a valuable piece of visual history that invites us to reflect on the sacrifices and triumphs of those who served during this pivotal period in human history.
