Bombardment Destruction Rouen Ww 2 Ww Ii
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 devastating aftermath of the bombardment of Rouen, France during the Fall of France in World War II. The second largest city in Normandy, Rouen was a strategic target for the German forces during their advance towards the English Channel in the early months of 1940. In this image, the once beautiful and historic city lies in ruins, with buildings reduced to smoldering piles of rubble and debris. The haunting scene is further emphasized by the eerie calm that seems to have settled over the city, with only the occasional flicker of a flame or the distant sound of sirens breaking the silence. In the foreground, a group of soldiers, likely from the German army, are seen making their way through the destruction, their expressions a mix of awe, determination, and sadness. The war had taken a heavy toll on all sides, and the sight of a once proud and vibrant city reduced to ashes served as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of conflict. The photograph, taken in the spring of 1940, is a poignant and powerful reminder of the destruction and devastation wrought by the Second World War. It stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, as well as a cautionary tale of the devastating impact of war on civilian populations. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into a dark and tumultuous period in world history.
