23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 moment Japanese soldiers disembark from a train at Seoul Station during the Russo-Japanese War, circa 1904-1905. The soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms and armed with weapons, are seen filing off the train, their determined expressions hinting at the intense battles that lay ahead. The arrival of the Japanese troops marked a significant turning point in the war, as they sought to secure their control over the Korean peninsula and expand their empire. The soldiers' arrival was facilitated by the recently completed East-West Railroad, which connected the port city of Incheon with Seoul via the Chemulpo Railway. This modern transportation route allowed for the swift and efficient movement of troops and supplies, giving the Japanese a strategic advantage over their Russian adversaries. Seoul, the capital city of Korea, had been under Japanese occupation since 1895, following the First Sino-Japanese War. The arrival of the Japanese soldiers in Seoul during the Russo-Japanese War marked a pivotal moment in the city's history, as it became a key battleground in the conflict. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of a significant historical event and the military might of the Japanese Empire at the turn of the 20th century.
