23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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
This evocative photograph, titled "The Great Offensive" by Samuel Begg, captures a poignant and imaginative moment during the chaotic and tumultuous year of 1916 in the midst of the First World War. Amidst the backdrop of the global conflict that was tearing families and communities apart, this heartwarming scene portrays a group of children spread out on a rug, engrossed in an elaborate and numerous game of toy soldiers. The children, dressed in their best clothes, are completely absorbed in the aggressive and strategic play, their faces reflecting determination and focus. The toys, meticulously arranged, depict soldiers and cannons, mirroring the military machinery of the war that was raging on the front lines. The children's game, however, serves as a stark contrast to the brutal reality of the war, offering a glimpse into the innocence and resilience of childhood during wartime. The photograph, taken in the Christmas season, adds an extra layer of meaning, as the children's game represents a form of escapism and hope amidst the darkness and despair of the war. Samuel Begg's photograph, "The Great Offensive," is a poignant reminder of the enduring spirit of children, even during the most trying of times. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was at war, yet the spirit of play and imagination continued to thrive.
