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 photograph captures the aftermath of a devastating shell attack on Spy Farm, Rue de Bois, in Belgium during World War I. The image, taken by Lieutenant Major John Empson Tindall, MC, depicts the remnants of a Royal Engineers (RE) store that was destroyed by shell fire on January 26, 1915. The store, located at Tron Farm, held a considerable amount of valuable woodwork, which was sadly reduced to ashes in the explosion. Lieutenant Major Tindall, who joined the Royal Engineers as a Lieutenant and rose through the ranks to become Major commanding the 505th (Wessex) Field Company, 57th Division, BEF, captured this moment in history. The date, January 26, 1916, is annotated on the back of the print. The photograph shows the intense flames and red smoke billowing from the wreckage of the store, a stark reminder of the destructive power of the war. The scene is one of devastation and loss, with the charred remains of the building standing as a testament to the relentless shelling that took place during the conflict. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the harsh realities of the war, providing a visual record of the sacrifices made by the soldiers and civilians who lived through those dark times. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and resilience of those who fought to protect their countries and communities, and the importance of preserving historical records for future generations.
