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 group photograph captures the spirit of bravery and camaraderie among the soldiers of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers during the Second Boer War (1899-1902). Among them is a young boy, John Francis Dunne, seated on the ground to the right, who played the crucial role of bugler in the regiment. At just 15 years old, Dunne saw action at the pivotal Battle of Colenso in December 1899. Despite the dangerous conditions and intense fire, he bravely sounded the call to advance and retreat, earning him the respect and admiration of his comrades. Dunne's heroism did not go unnoticed, and he was later awarded the Queen's South Africa Medal for his bravery. The photograph, taken in the early 1900s during the Victorian era, shows the soldiers in their military uniforms, with their stern expressions and determined postures, reflecting the harsh realities of wartime. The presence of the young bugler, a boy among men, adds an unexpected and poignant touch to the image, reminding us of the sacrifices made by children during times of conflict. This powerful photograph, part of The John Barrett Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the history of the Boer War and the remarkable story of a young hero who answered the call of duty.
