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
1. Title: Map Briefing, Boys Coy, Sikh Regiment, 1947 This evocative photograph captures a moment of intense planning and strategy during the tumultuous year of 1947. The image is taken from an album of 90 photographs, meticulously documenting the experiences of the Boys Coy, a part of the esteemed Sikh Regiment, in India during this pivotal period. The photograph showcases a group of soldiers gathered around a large, spread-out map, intently listening to their commanding officer. The map, marked with various locations and routes, serves as the focus of their attention, as they prepare for the challenges that lie ahead. The serious expressions on their faces convey a sense of determination and resolve, while the worn uniforms and equipment underscore the harsh realities of their situation. The year 1947 holds significant historical importance, as it marked the end of British rule in India and the subsequent partition of the subcontinent into India and Pakistan. The Sikh Regiment, a distinguished military force with a rich history, played a crucial role in maintaining order and ensuring a peaceful transition during this tumultuous time. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the preparations and planning that went into the Boys Coy's operations during this period. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these soldiers and the vital role they played in shaping the future of India and Pakistan. The album from which this photograph is taken is an invaluable historical resource, providing a firsthand account of the experiences and challenges faced by the Boys Coy of the Sikh Regiment during this pivotal time in history.
