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 photograph, taken in 1911, depicts a group of Moroccan soldiers under the tutelage of French military instructors as they learn to operate a modern quick-firing cannon. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the French protectorate in Morocco (1912-1956), during which France exerted political and military control over the North African kingdom. The Moroccan soldiers, dressed in traditional uniforms, are intently focused on their task, as their French instructors provide guidance and demonstrations. The cannon, a symbol of power and military might, is a testament to the advanced military technology that the French brought to Morocco during their occupation. The quick-firing cannon, a significant improvement over the traditional muzzle-loading cannons, was a game-changer in military warfare. Its ability to fire multiple rounds in a short period made it a formidable weapon in the hands of a well-trained army. The French, recognizing the importance of this technology, sought to share it with their Moroccan allies and proteges. This photograph not only captures a moment in history but also highlights the complex relationship between France and Morocco during the protectorate era. It underscores the French efforts to modernize Morocco's military and bring it in line with European military standards, while also illustrating the Moroccan soldiers' eagerness to learn and adapt to new technologies. The image is a powerful reminder of the interconnected history of France and Morocco, and the lasting impact of colonialism on the North African country.
