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 photograph captures the resilient spirit of Rheims, France during the tumultuous year of 1918, towards the end of the First World War. The image offers a breathtaking cityscape view of Rheims, with its iconic Gothic cathedral standing proudly in the background. The cathedral, a symbol of the city's rich history and cultural heritage, had been severely damaged during the relentless bombardments of the war. Yet, despite the destruction, the cathedral remained a beacon of hope and a testament to the enduring strength of the people of Rheims. The photograph, taken from a vantage point that allows for a panoramic view of the city, reveals the extent of the devastation wrought by the war. The once vibrant and bustling streets are now eerily quiet, with the ruins of buildings scattered across the landscape. The smoke rising from the fires in the distance adds a sense of urgency and tension to the scene. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of Rheims during the First World War. The city was a strategic target for both the Allied and German forces due to its proximity to the Western Front. The Battle of Rheims, fought in September 1914, resulted in heavy casualties and extensive damage to the city. The photograph captures the aftermath of this battle, with the city still reeling from the destruction. Despite the devastation, the people of Rheims refused to be defeated. They worked tirelessly to rebuild their city, and the cathedral was eventually restored to its former glory. Today, it stands as a symbol of hope and resilience, a reminder of the indomitable spirit of the people of Rheims and the enduring power of history.
