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
- A Snapshot of Daily Life in a German Prisoner of War Camp during World War I This evocative image, titled "Teehaus, Ruhleben," is a topographical drawing created by the renowned Austrian artist Cyril Oppler during the First World War. The drawing offers a poignant and intriguing glimpse into the daily life of prisoners of war (POWs) held at the Ruhleben camp, located in present-day Germany. Established in November 1914, Ruhleben was initially intended to house British civilians who had been stranded in Germany when the war broke out. However, as the conflict escalated, the camp was converted into a military prison, housing over 10,000 Allied soldiers from various nations. The drawing depicts a simple yet charming tea house situated within the camp, where prisoners could enjoy a moment of respite from the harsh realities of captivity. The structure, with its thatched roof and rustic wooden walls, exudes a sense of warmth and comfort. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of men in military uniforms, engaged in animated conversation or playing cards, while others prepare and serve tea. Oppler's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the drawing, which captures the essence of the tea house and the camaraderie among the prisoners. The artist's ability to convey the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity is truly remarkable. This historical drawing is an invaluable record of life in a World War I prisoner of war camp, offering a unique perspective on a largely forgotten chapter in the annals of military history. The image invites us to reflect on the experiences of those who endured the hardships of war and the power of community and friendship to sustain and uplift us, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
