He was Director of the Intelligence Bureau at the Department of Information from 1917 to 1918. Date: 1914

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.

Stirrup Charge by the 2nd Dragoons (Royal Scots Greys) and Black Watch at St Quentin, 30 August 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and historically significant print by Countess Feodora Gleichen, one of the leading women sculptors of her day. This powerful image immortalizes a pivotal moment during the early days of World War I, as the 2nd Dragoons (Royal Scots Greys) and Black Watch executed a stirrup charge at St Quentin in France on August 30, 1914. Countess Gleichen, born in 1861, was a British sculptor who had the unique distinction of living and working in St. James Palace from 1903 to 1915. Her brother, Major-General Lord Albert Edward Wilfred Gleichen, served in the war, commanding the 15th Brigade from 1911 to 1915, and later the 37th Division from 1915 to 1916. He also served as the Director of the Intelligence Bureau at the Department of Information from 1917 to 1918. The print showcases the raw energy and intensity of the cavalry charge, with riders and horses in mid-gallop, their stirrups lifted high, ready to strike. The movement and speed of the animals are beautifully captured, conveying the sense of power and determination of the soldiers in the heat of battle. This visual representation of the Stirrup Charge at St Quentin is an important historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the wartime experiences of the Allied forces during the early days of World War I. The print serves as a testament to the courage and skill of the cavalry units, as well as the artistic talent of Countess Gleichen, who expertly captured the essence of the moment in her sculpture.
