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 front cover of the first issue of the Illustrated War News, published just a week after the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, encapsulates the patriotic fervor and sense of unity between Britain and its allies as the great powers plunged into the cataclysmic conflict. The image features a British Dreadnought-class battleship, symbolizing the formidable seapower of the Royal Navy, proudly flying the Union Jack alongside the French tricolor. The powerful warships, with their imposing guns and towering masts, were a testament to the naval might that would play a crucial role in the war at sea. The Illustrated War News, dedicated to covering all aspects of the conflict, was an essential source of information and morale-boosting imagery for the public as they followed the progress of the war. This historic front cover remains a powerful reminder of the patriotism and unity that defined the early days of the First World War.
