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 solemn and poignant atmosphere of the opening ceremony of the Menin Gate in Ypres, Belgium, on 24 July 1927. The Menin Gate, a war memorial dedicated to the British and Commonwealth soldiers who died in the Ypres Salient during World War I, is a symbol of sacrifice and remembrance. In the foreground, Field Marshal Lord Plumer, a prominent British military figure who played a significant role in the Second Battle of Ypres, stands proudly before the Menin Gate. He is dressed in his full military regalia, signifying the formal nature of the occasion. Behind him, the grand archway of the Menin Gate looms large, its classical architecture adorned with intricate columns, pilasters, and arches. The Menin Gate's two lions flanking the inscription add a sense of regality and power to the scene. A large crowd of spectators has gathered on the street below, their faces expressing a range of emotions from solemn reflection to proud admiration. The Menin Gate had only recently been completed, and this ceremony marked its official opening to the public. The inscription on the gate reads, "To the Armies of the British Empire who stood here from 1914 to 1918, this monument is erected by the people of Ypres." This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during World War I and the enduring bond between the people of Ypres and the British Empire. The Menin Gate remains a significant memorial and a symbol of remembrance, and the annual Last Post Ceremony held there continues to draw thousands of visitors each year.
