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
Celebrating the Irish Tradition: A St. Patrick's Day Scene of the Irish Guards and Their Mascot in the 1920s This evocative photograph captures the spirit of St. Patrick's Day as celebrated by the Irish Guards during the 1920s. The Irish Guards, an infantry regiment of the British Army, have a long-standing connection to Ireland and its rich cultural heritage. The regiment's mascot, an Irish Wolfhound, is a proud symbol of this connection. In this image, the band members of the Irish Guards don their traditional uniforms adorned with shamrocks, the national symbol of Ireland. The shamrock is a customary emblem worn on St. Patrick's Day, representing the belief that Ireland was the land of the three-leafed shamrock, a symbol of the Holy Trinity. The band members proudly wear their shamrocks on their caps, lapels, and sleeves, adding a touch of green to their otherwise red and gold uniforms. The Irish Wolfhound mascot, a majestic and powerful creature, stands proudly among the band members. The breed, native to Ireland, is the largest of all dog breeds and has been the mascot of the Irish Guards since 1901. In this photograph, the wolfhound wears a collar adorned with shamrocks, further emphasizing the Irish connection. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the unique traditions and customs that bind the Irish Guards to their heritage, even as they served in the British Army. The image captures the essence of St. Patrick's Day, a day of celebration and pride for the Irish people, both in Ireland and abroad.
