Artillery Gunner Load Ramrod Weapons
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 evocative 19th century photograph captures the intense focus and physical demands of a gunner as he meticulously loads a large field gun during military training or combat. The image, taken on a grassy field, transports us back in time to an era of horse-drawn artillery and the deafening sounds of battle. The gunner, dressed in the uniform of the time, is seen in a crouched position, his muscular arms braced against his body as he pushes the long ramrod down the barrel of the gun. The ramrod, a crucial tool for loading cannon and field guns, is a testament to the laborious process of preparing these weapons for action. The gun itself, a formidable piece of machinery, looms large in the background, its barrel gleaming in the sunlight. The late 19th century was a period of significant advancements in military technology, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life and routines of soldiers during that time. Artillery played a pivotal role in warfare, and the ability to quickly and efficiently load and fire these weapons was a matter of life and death. The dedication and skill of the gunner, as depicted in this photograph, were essential to the success of military campaigns. This historical image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and hardships endured by soldiers during the 19th century and the critical role that artillery played in shaping the course of history. The intricate details of the scene, from the gunner's determined expression to the textured uniform and weathered equipment, make this a captivating and thought-provoking addition to any collection of historical military photography.
