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.

Wailly, near Arras, July 18, 1918: A Haunting Scene of Ruins and an Aerial Formation This evocative photograph captures the desolate scene of Wailly, a small village near Arras in northern France, three miles to the east, on July 18, 1918. The remnants of a once-proud church and a destroyed street lie in the foreground, a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of World War I. The ruins stand in stark contrast to the clear blue sky above, where an aerial formation of planes can be seen flying in the distance. The photograph was taken during the final months of the war, when the Allied forces, including the 3rd Canadian Division, were making their final push towards victory. Among the soldiers who may have witnessed this scene firsthand was Gunner Vivian John Cummings, born on July 31, 1875. He was a member of the Canadian Expeditionary Force and served with the 1st Great Regiments of the Topographical Section, which was responsible for providing maps and other intelligence to support military operations. This photograph offers a glimpse into the historical context of the time, providing a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War. The ruins of Wailly serve as a poignant reminder of the devastation caused by the conflict, while the aerial formation symbolizes the determination and resilience of the Allied forces in their quest for victory.
