Cases Dressed Engraved Pair Shell Trench
31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 pair of German Pom Pom shell cases, dating back to the tumultuous era of World War I (WW1, 1914-1918), showcases an intriguing blend of military history and artistic expression. Each case, adorned with intricate engravings, offers a unique glimpse into the creativity and imagination of the soldiers who crafted them during their downtime in the trenches. The first shell case, engraved with a well-dressed man, exudes an air of sophistication and refinement. The man is depicted in a dapper suit, complete with a top hat and cane, suggesting an image of elegance and class. This engraving may have been a tribute to the soldier's idealized vision of a gentleman, or perhaps even a representation of his own aspirations. The second shell case, graced with an elegant lady, embodies the feminine grace and beauty that was cherished during this period. The lady is depicted in a flowing gown, with an alluring expression and an inviting pose. This engraving could have served as a source of inspiration or comfort for the soldier, offering a momentary escape from the harsh realities of war. These Pom Pom shell cases, with their intricate engravings, serve as a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to find solace and creativity even in the most challenging of circumstances. Their existence is a testament to the enduring power of art and the indomitable human spirit, making them an invaluable addition to any military history or trench art collection.
