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
Amidst the chaos and hardships of the First World War front lines, comfort and warmth were essential for the officers serving their country. In this vintage advertisement from the Illustrated London News Ltd, Debenham and Freebody showcase a selection of useful gifts for these brave men. The advertisement features an array of high-quality clothing items designed to keep officers warm and protected during their duty. At the forefront of the image, an Akhaki shirt with a smart collar catches the eye. This shirt, made of durable khaki material, would have provided a neat and professional appearance for the officers. Further down, a fur waistcoat is displayed, offering both insulation and a touch of elegance. The advertisement also highlights a fur-lined British warm coat, perfect for the harsh winter conditions of the trenches. Quilted silk under-jackets, sleeping helmets, and sleeping bags are also featured in the advertisement. The under-jackets would have provided an additional layer of warmth under the uniforms, while the sleeping helmets and bags ensured a comfortable rest during brief moments of respite. This advertisement serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by officers during the First World War and the importance of providing them with essential items to help them endure the challenging conditions they faced. Debenham and Freebody's commitment to supplying high-quality clothing for the officers demonstrates the company's dedication to supporting those on the front lines.
