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 a moment in time during the early days of World War II, as German troops stand along the banks of the River Maas (or Maas) in the Dutch city of Maastricht in 1940. The soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms and armed with rifles, gaze out over the water with a mix of concentration and contemplation. The peaceful scene is a stark contrast to the chaos and destruction that was unfolding across Europe at the time. Maastricht, located in the southeastern part of the Netherlands, was one of the first cities to fall to the German forces during the invasion of the Netherlands in May 1940. The city's strategic location along the German-Dutch border made it a key target for the invading army. The German troops in the photograph are likely part of the 1st Panzer Division, which played a significant role in the capture of Maastricht. The River Maas, which winds its way through the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, was an important strategic waterway during the war. It served as a crucial transportation route for the German forces as they advanced through the Netherlands and into Belgium. The river also marked the border between the German-occupied territories and the neutral Netherlands, making it a symbol of the shifting political landscape of Europe during the war. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the events that shaped the course of world history. It is a powerful reminder of the human impact of war, as well as the complex geopolitical dynamics that continue to shape Europe and the world today.
