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 print captures the historical significance of a Mustard Pot belonging to the Mess of the 4th Battalion Royal Tank Regiment during World War I. The Mustard Pot, made by the renowned British silverware and metalware manufacturer Mappin & Webb, is a commemorative piece that holds great importance in military history. During the First World War, mustard gas was a lethal and devastating weapon used extensively by both the Allied and Central Powers. Soldiers on the front lines were often exposed to this toxic agent, leading to severe burns and respiratory damage. To help mitigate the effects of mustard gas, soldiers carried personal mustard pots to mix and apply a neutralizing agent, known as "mustard gas antidote," to their skin in case of exposure. This particular Mustard Pot, belonging to the Mess of the 4th Battalion Royal Tank Regiment, is an electro-plated nickel silver piece, showcasing the intricate metalwork and craftsmanship of Mappin & Webb. The historical value of this artifact lies not only in its functional purpose but also as a symbol of resilience and survival in the face of adversity. The 4th Battalion Royal Tank Regiment was an integral part of the British Army during WWI, playing a crucial role in the development and deployment of tanks on the battlefield. This Mustard Pot is a poignant reminder of the daily struggles and sacrifices made by soldiers during this period, and the vital role that even the most seemingly ordinary objects could play in their survival. This print offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the history of the British military during WWI and the important role that Mappin & Webb played in supplying essential items to the troops.
