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
Goodbye Old Man: A Heartbreaking Moment of Love and Loss in WWI
This poignant print captures a truly heartbreaking moment from World War One, circa 1916. In the midst of the chaos and devastation of war, a soldier is seen giving his dying horse a tender parting kiss. The bond between man and animal is evident in this emotional scene, as the soldier bids farewell to his loyal companion.
The image evokes feelings of love, sadness, grief, and suffering - emotions that were all too common during wartime. The soldier's patriotic duty may have called him to battle, but it is clear that his heart remains with his faithful horse until the very end.
As we reflect on this historical photograph, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by both humans and animals during times of conflict. The Blue Cross Fund provided support for military animals like this brave horse who served alongside their human counterparts.
This print serves as a powerful reminder of the great love that exists between man and animal, even in the face of tragedy. It is a testament to the enduring bond shared between soldiers and their faithful companions throughout history.
