24th Advance Bruges Jack Westward
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 powerful and historically significant print captures a moment in time during the westward advance of German soldiers into Belgium in October 1914. The image shows German soldiers proudly flaunting the Union Jack flag as they march through the streets of Bruges, showcasing their dominance over enemy territory.
The juxtaposition of the German soldiers with the iconic British flag creates a striking visual contrast, symbolizing the triumph of one nation over another in the midst of war. The sheer audacity and boldness displayed by these soldiers as they proudly display their conquest is both chilling and awe-inspiring.
As we reflect on this image, we are reminded of the brutal realities of war and its impact on nations and individuals alike. The Union Jack, typically a symbol of pride and unity for Britain, is here used as a tool of intimidation by the invading forces.
This print serves as an important reminder of our shared history and the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely during times of conflict. It is a poignant snapshot that encapsulates both the power dynamics at play during wartime and the resilience shown by those caught in its crossfire.
