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 photograph captures Major Edwin Hautenville Richardson, a British military officer and renowned dog trainer, with two of the ambulance dogs he trained and supplied to the Russian army during the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. Major Richardson, who founded the British War Dog School during the First World War, was a pioneer in the use of dogs for military purposes. Here, he is seen demonstrating his exceptional skills with these two canine companions, who were specially trained to assist in the transportation of wounded soldiers and supplies on the battlefield. The Russo-Japanese War marked the first major conflict in which dogs were used extensively as military animals. Major Richardson's ambulance dogs were instrumental in providing essential support to the Russian forces, helping to alleviate the suffering of wounded soldiers and enabling them to be evacuated more quickly and efficiently from the battlefield. The photograph captures the strong bond between Major Richardson and his dogs, as they work together in harmony. The dogs, with their collars and harnesses, are focused and alert, ready to perform their duties. Major Richardson, dressed in his military uniform, looks proudly at his charges, a testament to the incredible relationship that could be formed between man and animal in the most challenging of circumstances. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital role that animals, particularly dogs, played in military history, and the important work of those, like Major Richardson, who dedicated their lives to training and caring for them.
