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 a group of determined women at work in a Scottish munitions factory during World War I. The year is 1916, and the women are seen toiling over machinery and machines, their faces focused and resolute as they contribute to the production of weapons for the war effort. Among them is Mrs Godfrey Collins, whose husband, Sir Godfrey Collins, was a Liberal Member of Parliament at the time. The photo serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role women played on the homefront during the conflict, keeping the munitions factories running even on weekends to meet the insatiable demand for arms. The interior of the factory is filled with the hum of industry, the air thick with the scent of oil and the faint hiss of steam. The scene is illuminated by the warm glow of fires, casting long shadows across the floor and adding a sense of urgency to the women's labors. The photograph is a powerful testament to the spirit of resilience and sacrifice that characterized the 1st Great War, as ordinary men and women rose to the challenge and played their part in the larger struggle for peace.
