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
This historic photograph captures the German Navy's SMS Goeben and SMS Breslau anchored in Stania Bay in the Bosporus during World War I. The image, taken around 1914, shows the two powerful warships safely ensconced in the protective waters of the bay, some 8 miles from Istanbul. At the time, the Dardanelles and the Bosporus were crucial waterways connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Black Sea, making them strategic locations during the conflict. The Goeben and Breslau, both light cruisers of the Imperial German Navy, had evaded the British Royal Navy in the Mediterranean and found refuge in the Ottoman Empire. Their arrival in Istanbul marked a significant moment in the war, as it signaled the beginning of a military alliance between Germany and the Ottoman Empire against the Allied Powers. The Goeben and Breslau's presence in the Bosporus also had far-reaching consequences for the Gallipoli Campaign. The Allied forces, aiming to seize control of the Dardanelles and the Bosporus, launched a failed invasion of Gallipoli in April 1915. The German ships played a crucial role in the defense of the straits, helping to repel the Allied forces and secure the Ottoman Empire's territorial integrity. This photograph is a testament to the complex geopolitical dynamics of World War I and the pivotal role played by the Bosporus and the Dardanelles in the conflict. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, providing valuable insights into the military strategies and alliances that shaped the course of the war.
