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 editorial from The Wipers Times, or Salient News, published on March 6, 1916, offers a humorous glimpse into the challenges faced by the satirical newspaper during the First World War. The Wipers Times was a trench newspaper produced by British soldiers stationed in the Ypres Salient in Belgium. In this editorial, the editor apologizes for the delay in publishing the third issue, attributing the delay to the inclement weather and the jealousy of their competitors, "Messrs. Hun and Co." The editor's lighthearted tone belies the harsh realities of life in the trenches, where the weather and the enemy posed constant threats. The reference to the "wall coming down on our machine" suggests that the newspaper's production facilities may have been damaged, further delaying the publication. Despite these challenges, the Wipers Times continued to bring humor and morale to the soldiers, providing a valuable source of entertainment and connection to home. This editorial is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the soldiers who produced it, and serves as a reminder of the unique challenges faced by those on the front lines during the First World War.
