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 of reckoning for The London Scottish Regiment after the daring and decisive charge at Messine Ridge during the First World War. The date was June 7, 1917, and the scene is set in the muddy aftermath of the battle, as the survivors of the regiment gather for a role call. The weary and battle-scarred faces of the soldiers, some with bandaged heads and others carrying makeshift stretchers, bear testament to the brutal realities of trench warfare. The London Scottish, part of the 15th (Scottish) Division, had played a pivotal role in the attack on Messine Ridge, which was a prelude to the larger Battle of Passchendaele. The charge, led by Lieutenant Colonel John Buchanan, involved the regiment advancing across open ground under heavy enemy fire, and resulted in significant casualties. Despite the losses, the charge at Messine Ridge was a turning point in the war, as it allowed the Allied forces to gain ground and put pressure on the German lines. The London Scottish's bravery and determination in the face of adversity are commemorated in this powerful image, which serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the First World War. This photograph, taken by an ILN (International News) photographer, is a rare and important historical document, offering a glimpse into the raw and unvarnished realities of war. It is a testament to the courage and resilience of the soldiers who fought in the trenches, and a reminder of the enduring legacy of the First World War in shaping the course of history.
