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 haunting image captures a pivotal moment in history, as a British official carefully examines the twisted wreckage of a German Zeppelin shot down over Essex during a bombing raid on the night of September 23, 1916. The destruction of this airship was one of two reported over Essex, marking a significant victory for the British forces during World War I.
The tangled metal and charred remains tell a story of fierce combat and ultimate defeat for the German forces. The official's expression is one of solemn determination as he surveys the scene, perhaps reflecting on the lives lost in this dramatic aerial battle.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice that defined this tumultuous period in history. The remnants of the Zeppelin serve as a stark reminder of the destructive power unleashed during wartime, but also symbolize resilience and triumph in the face of adversity.
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in our past, allowing us to reflect on how far we have come since those dark days. It serves as both a historical record and a tribute to those who fought bravely for their country.
