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 photograph captures the somber atmosphere of a hospital ward during the First World War. Dated 18, the image shows a group of wounded soldiers lying in their beds, each with a unique story of bravery and sacrifice. Among them is Gunner Vivian John Cummings, born on July 31, 1875. He was a valued member of the 3rd Canadian Division, Canadian Expeditionary Force. The regiment, which was part of the 1st Great Regiments of the Canadian Army, saw action in various battles, including the Battle of Vimy Ridge and the Battle of Passchendaele. The soldiers in this ward are a testament to the harsh realities of war. Their weary expressions and bandaged injuries speak volumes about the physical and emotional toll of the conflict. The topographical drawing on the wall behind them adds a sense of history and context to the scene. The drawing, which depicts a military landscape, serves as a reminder of the battles these men had fought and the sacrifices they had made. Gunner Cummings, like his comrades, had bravely served his country. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the courage and resilience of those who served. This image, with its historical significance and emotional depth, is an essential addition to any military history or World War I collection.
