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 photograph captures Prince Henry, the third son of King George V and Queen Mary, during his training at Eton College Officers Training Corps in 1915. At the tender age of 17, Prince Henry, who would later become the Duke of Gloucester, stands second from the left in the ranks, his young face serious and determined as he marches alongside his fellow cadets. The image provides a rare glimpse into the life of a royal prince during World War I, as he prepared to join the military and contribute to the ongoing conflict. The uniformed boys, all in their crisp and pristine uniforms, drill with military precision, their youthful energy and enthusiasm tempered by the gravity of the historical moment. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the younger generation during the Great War, and the role that public schools like Eton played in shaping the future leaders of the nation.
