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.

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 poignant image showcases the first page of a letter written by Albert Auerbach to his beloved sister Lucy on August 18, 1918. The letter, penned in pencil on torn and worn paper, bears the unmistakable signs of the harsh conditions endured by soldiers at the Western Front during World War I. Auerbach, a soldier with the Royal Fusiliers, was stationed in northern France at the time, serving his country in the final months of the war. The letter, now a cherished relic, is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. Its contents, lost to history, remain a mystery, but the very act of writing serves as a testament to the enduring bond between siblings. Tragically, this would be the last letter Albert wrote to Lucy. He was killed in action at Bouchavesnes on September 1, 1918, leaving behind a grieving family and a legacy of sacrifice. The letter's aged appearance, with its faded ink and creased edges, speaks to the passage of time and the weight of history. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during the First World War, and the enduring power of the written word to connect us across time and space.
