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 bustling activity of a German telephone exchange in Schwiedeckelager during World War I. Dated 1918, this historical image offers a rare glimpse into the vital role communication played during the Great War, particularly on the Western Front. The scene is set in a large, dimly lit room filled with rows of operators, their focused expressions and deft hands working diligently to connect calls between soldiers and their loved ones back home. The room is a symphony of sounds - the constant ringing of telephones, the click-clack of keys, and the occasional bursts of static. The operators, dressed in their uniforms, are surrounded by a maze of wires, switchboards, and telephones. The room is a testament to the technological advancements of the time, with the telephone exchange serving as a crucial link between the battlefield and the civilian population. The photograph also reveals the human side of war, with the operators appearing both determined and weary, their faces etched with the weight of their responsibilities. The image underscores the importance of communication during wartime, allowing soldiers to maintain connections with their families and friends, and enabling commanders to coordinate their troops effectively. As we reflect on the significance of this photograph, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by the men and women who worked tirelessly to keep the lines of communication open during the chaos and uncertainty of war. This historical image stands as a poignant reminder of the human spirit and the resilience that carried us through one of the most tumultuous periods in history.
