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
In this striking photograph, Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery, 1st Viscount Alamein, is seen enjoying the picturesque Alpine town of Gstaad, Switzerland, in 1949. Dressed in a remarkable white fur coat, Montgomery exudes an air of authority and elegance as he presents the Army Skiing Cup during a winter sports event. The upscale resort town of Gstaad, nestled in the Bernese Oberland region of the Swiss Alps, was a popular destination for the British elite, and Montgomery's presence adds to the prestige of the occasion. Montgomery, a renowned British military commander and leader, is best known for his victories during World War II, including the Battle of Alamein. Here, he is seen in a more leisurely setting, donning a beret, gloves, and a warm smile as he interacts with the crowd. The snow-covered fields and alpine backdrop add to the serene and idyllic atmosphere of the scene. Montgomery's visit to Gstaad serves as a reminder of his enduring legacy as a military leader and his ability to find respite and enjoyment in the beauty of nature, even in the aftermath of war.
