Bombardment Fierce Nieuport Photographed Ruined
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 the devastating aftermath of the fierce German bombardment of the Belgian town of Nieuport during World War I. The image, taken on December 7, 1914, shows a ruined street lined with shattered buildings and debris, providing a stark reminder of the destructive power of war. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its documentation of the early stages of the First World War, a time when the conflict was still unfolding and the full extent of the destruction was yet to be realized. The town of Nieuport, located on the Belgian coast, was a strategic target for the German army due to its proximity to the North Sea and the important role it played in the defense of Belgium. The town was subjected to heavy bombardment by the German artillery, resulting in widespread destruction and loss of life. The photograph offers a glimpse into the devastation wrought by the bombardment, with the remnants of once-proud buildings reduced to rubble and the streets transformed into chaotic scenes of destruction. Despite the grim scene depicted in the photograph, there is a sense of resilience and determination in the image. The ruins of the buildings stand as a testament to the strength and fortitude of the people of Nieuport, who endured the bombardment and went on to rebuild their town in the aftermath of the war. The photograph serves as an important historical record of a pivotal moment in world history, and a reminder of the human capacity for survival and renewal in the face of adversity.
