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 the opening moments of the Battle of Ali Musjid during the Second Anglo-Afghan War on November 21, 1878. The scene unfolds from the vantage point of Karamna Peak, with Abatch Peak and the Old Fort visible in the background. The Mackeson Road, a strategic military route, can be seen winding through the valley below. At the center of the image, smoke rises from Ali Musjid, the village under attack, as British troops prepare for the first shot around 10 am. The troops, with their tents and equipment, are stationed on the peaks, ready to engage the Afghan defenders. The Second Anglo-Afghan War, also known as the Anglo-Afghan War of 1878-1880, was a significant conflict between the British Empire and Afghanistan. This battle marked the beginning of the British campaign to extend their influence in Afghanistan and secure control over the strategic passes leading to India. The war ended in a stalemate, with the British withdrawing from Afghanistan in 1880, but it left a lasting impact on the region and its people.
