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 evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during the North African Campaign of World War II, as Allied forces prepare to fire a 4.5 inch gun near Tarhuna in February 1943. The Eighth Army, under the command of General Bernard Montgomery, was making its way towards Tripoli at the time, marking a significant turning point in the war's Mediterranean theatre. The determination and focus of the soldiers in this image are palpable, as they take aim and ready their weapon for action. The 4.5 inch gun was a key component of the Allied arsenal during this period, capable of delivering accurate and powerful shells over long distances. This photograph is part of a collection of 34 images, which together provide a comprehensive record of various theatres in World War Two, from the Home Front to the Eastern Front, the Middle East, and the Far East, including New Guinea. Dated 1943, this photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during this global conflict.
