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 poignant photograph captures the Grave of Two Soldiers, Jens Christensen from Spjellerup and Hans Hansen from Kyse, located at Boffelkobbel in Sonderborg Municipality, South Jutland, Denmark. The soldiers, both Danish, lost their lives during the fierce fighting in the Second Schleswig War against Prussia and Austria in 1864. The war, which lasted from 1863 to 1864, was a result of disputes over the succession to the Danish throne and territorial claims. The image, believed to date from the 1910s, shows the simple yet solemn grave site, now situated in the garden of a private residence. The tomb is marked by a cross, a symbol of hope and faith, and a reminder of the sacrifices made during the conflict. The two warriors, Jens and Hans, lie side by side, their headstones bearing their names and the dates of their deaths. The Second Schleswig War was a significant event in Danish history, and the graves of its fallen soldiers serve as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. The photograph invites us to pause and reflect on the lives of these two young men and the circumstances that led to their untimely deaths. It is a poignant testament to the enduring power of remembrance and the importance of honoring those who have given their lives in the pursuit of peace and justice.
