Engraved Letter Opener Ridge Souvenir Topographical Trench Vimy
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 intricately engraved letter opener, a poignant souvenir of the historic Vimy Ridge battlefield in France, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during World War I. The trench art piece, crafted with great care and attention to detail, features the iconic landscape of Vimy Ridge adorned with leaves and flowers. The topographical representation of the battlefield, with its undulating terrain and intricate depiction of the surrounding foliage, transports us back in time to the early 20th century. The Vimy Ridge battle, fought between April 9 and 12, 1917, was a significant turning point in the war for the Allied forces. The successful capture of the ridge by Canadian troops not only boosted morale but also demonstrated their military prowess on the global stage. The battlefield, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has become a symbol of Canadian national identity and a testament to the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who fought there. The engraving on this letter opener, with its intricate details and delicate flowers, serves as a poignant reminder of the beauty and fragility of life amidst the chaos and destruction of war. The historical significance of the Vimy Ridge battlefield is etched not only into the landscape but also into the hearts and minds of those who have visited or learned about it. This beautiful and intricately crafted souvenir is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve the stories of the past.
