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.

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.

My Horse Was Afraid - The Kaiser Points at His Son
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and poignant image from the First World War, captured in this historical print. The photograph, taken during the conflict's early years, depicts German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II on horseback, with a concerned expression as he points towards his young son, Prince Wilhelm, who stands nearby. The horse, sensing the tension and uncertainty of the situation, appears anxious and uneasy, its ears pricked forward and its body tense. The year was 1914, and the world was on the brink of destruction. The First World War, also known as World War I or WWI, had just begun, and the future was uncertain for all involved. The Kaiser, who had long been a controversial figure, was known for his militaristic stance and his belief in the strength and invincibility of the German military. Yet, in this moment, even he could not hide his fear for the safety of his own son. The equestrian scene is a common motif in military history, symbolizing power, strength, and leadership. But in this photograph, the image takes on a new meaning. The Kaiser's horse, usually a symbol of control and dominance, is instead a reflection of the uncertainty and fear that gripped the world during this time. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the emotional toll it takes on even the most powerful leaders. The print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into history, providing a poignant and thought-provoking image of a pivotal moment in world history. The photograph is not only a testament to the historical significance of the First World War but also a reminder of the universal emotions and experiences that connect us all, regardless of time or place.
