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 essence of the National World War II Memorial in Washington D.C., United States. The memorial, dedicated to the soldiers who served in the Second World War, is depicted here through the lens of a bronze bas-relief sculpture titled 'Homecoming.' The relief, sculpted by Raymond Kaskey, portrays a heartwarming scene of embracing soldiers returning home from the battlefield, welcomed by their wives and loved ones. The 20th century American art piece, located on the National Mall, is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime. The intricate metalwork of the relief, with its intricate details and lifelike depictions, transports us back in time to a moment of triumph and victory. The soldiers, their uniforms and equipment bearing the marks of their arduous journey, embody the spirit of bravery and resilience that defined the Second World War. The relief's title, 'Homecoming,' speaks to the profound significance of returning home after a long and arduous journey. The embrace between the soldiers and their wives represents the reunion of families torn apart by war, a moment of peace and joy amidst the chaos of wartime. This photograph offers a glimpse into history, a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of the United States during the Second World War. The National World War II Memorial stands as a testament to their courage, their resilience, and their unwavering commitment to freedom and democracy.
