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 haunting ruins of Fort Seddulbahr, also known as Sed Dul-Bahr or Seddulbahir, following the intense Battle of Seddulbahr during World War I in 1915. The Ottoman Turkish fort, located on the European side of the Dardanelles Straits in modern-day Turkey, once served as a crucial emplacement for the Ottoman Empire's defense against Allied forces attempting to seize control of the straits and open a direct route to the Black Sea. The Great War's fierce artillery duels and relentless ground battles left the once formidable fort in smoldering ruins. The image reveals a desolate scene of shattered walls, crumbled emplacements, and scattered rubble, bearing witness to the devastating impact of the battle. The remnants of the fort stand as a poignant reminder of the costly confrontation that took place over 100 years ago. The Battle of Seddulbahr, also known as the Second Battle of the Dardanelles, was a significant turning point in the Gallipoli Campaign. The Allied forces, led by the British and French, suffered heavy losses, ultimately leading to their withdrawal from the region. The victory for the Ottoman Turkish forces, under the command of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, marked a pivotal moment in Turkish history and solidified the country's determination to defend its territory. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the rich history of the region and the profound impact of war on the landscape and its people.
