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 image captures the backbreaking labor involved in unloading essential food supplies from a ship during World War One. Circa 1916, on the Western Front, the uninterrupted flow of provisions was crucial for the survival of the Allied forces. In this photograph, we see soldiers and workers diligently offloading sacks of flour from the ship's hold, using makeshift conveyor belts and cranes. The quay is bustling with activity as lorries and carts wait to transport the flour to distribution centers. The scene is a testament to the relentless logistical efforts required to sustain the troops in the face of adversity. The historical significance of this moment is palpable, as the Western Front was a long and arduous battlefield, where the Allies fought against the Central Powers for control of Europe. This image offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War, and the vital role that food supplies played in ensuring the success of the Allied forces.
