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 trench art piece showcases an intricately crafted model of an artillery gun from the turbulent era of World War I. The gun's barrel is meticulously constructed from an array of bullets, their cases carefully arranged in descending size, creating a visually striking and unique design. The wooden carriage beneath supports the barrel, adorned with spoked wheels covered in gleaming brass. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the military weaponry used during the Great War. Trench art, a term used to describe the creative works produced during times of conflict, often reflects the historical context and the daily lives of soldiers. This artillery piece model, with its intricate detailing and innovative design, is a testament to the resourcefulness and creativity of the artists who crafted it. The First World War, also known as WWI or the Great War, lasted from 1914 to 1918 and involved numerous countries in Europe and beyond. The use of artillery was a significant aspect of the war, with both sides employing these weapons extensively to gain strategic advantages. The intricacy and detail of this trench art piece offer a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the history and the human spirit that emerged from the challenges of war. This artwork is not only a fascinating historical artifact but also a beautiful representation of the ingenuity and creativity that can emerge even in the most challenging of circumstances. The model of the artillery piece stands as a reminder of the rich history of the First World War and the enduring human spirit that continues to inspire us today.
