23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 turmoil of the First World War, a moment of tranquility is captured in this evocative image of a Serbian woman providing fresh drinking water to Allied troops in 1917. Dressed in traditional Eastern European clothing, the woman carries a large ewer or amphora filled with crystal-clear water on her head, skillfully balanced with the help of a decorative fabric. The scene takes place in the springtime, with the lush greenery and vibrant flowers surrounding the makeshift water station adding a touch of beauty to the otherwise grim setting. The Serbian woman's selfless act of kindness and courage stands out in stark contrast to the harsh realities of war. Her determined expression and the steady rhythm of her steps as she walks towards the thirsty soldiers speak volumes about her resilience and her unwavering commitment to helping those in need. The mineral-rich water she carries is a precious commodity, a lifeline for the weary and wounded troops who depend on her to quench their thirst. This photograph, taken during the WWI era, offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Serbia during a time of great upheaval. The exotic and intricately decorated fabric of the woman's clothing, along with the traditional ewer, serve as reminders of the unique traditions and customs that continue to thrive despite the challenges of war. The image also highlights the important role that women played in supporting the war effort, often in unsung and unheralded ways. This poignant and powerful photograph is a testament to the human spirit and the enduring power of compassion and kindness, even in the most difficult of times.
