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 print by C.E. Turner depicts a pivotal moment during the early hours of June 6, 1944, as British forces initiated their amphibious landing on one of the Normandy beaches during the D-Day invasion. The scene is a chaotic tableau of men, landing craft, ships, and an array of tanks and other vehicles being offloaded onto the sandy shore. To the lower left, a crucial figure stands out: the Beach Master, with his arm raised, issuing orders. His communication is sometimes conveyed through Morse code, the light for which is powered by a pedalled dynamo. Though Turner was not present at the historic event, his work was informed by the firsthand account of Commander Antony Kimmins of the Royal Navy. The meticulous detail in the print captures the frenetic energy and complexity of Operation Neptune and Operation Overlord, the naval and airborne components of the D-Day invasion. This poignant image is a testament to the bravery and determination of the Allied forces as they began their frontal assault on the fortified Atlantic Wall, marking a turning point in the Second World War. This print is a valuable historical record, offering a glimpse into the pivotal events of June 1944.
