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 black and white portrait captures the stoic gaze of a British Tommy, a common soldier of the British Army during World War I. The image, titled "Portrait of a British Tommy," is a poignant reminder of the thousands of young men who answered the call to defend their country and the world against the tides of war. The soldier's uniform, complete with puttees, webbing equipment, and a peaked cap adorned with the St. George's Cross, is a testament to the military discipline and order that defined the British military during this period. His serious expression and steady gaze convey a sense of determination and resolve, as if he is ready to face whatever challenges may come his way. The photograph, taken during the First World War, is a historical document that offers a glimpse into the lives of the ordinary soldiers who played a crucial role in shaping the course of world history. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and hardships endured by the soldiers of the British Army during this time, and the indelible impact of the war on the lives of those who lived through it. The portrait also highlights the human side of war, revealing the individual stories of the men who served in the military during this period. It invites us to reflect on the experiences and emotions of the soldiers, and to honor their memory as we commemorate the centenary of the First World War and the sacrifices made by the British Tommy and his comrades in arms.
