Cavalry Horse Back Marching Order Ww 1
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 the image of a British soldier on horseback during the final year of the First World War, 1918. The soldier, dressed in the full Field Service Marching Order, is shown with various pieces of military equipment. The Field Service Marching Order was the standard uniform for British soldiers during the war, designed to provide protection and mobility in the harsh conditions of the battlefield. The soldier wears a steel helmet, a heavy, padded tunic, and a pair of puttees to protect his legs. He carries a Lee-Enfield rifle slung over his shoulder, a bayonet attached, and a haversack filled with supplies on his back. A bandolier of ammunition pouches is slung across his chest, and a water bottle and canteen hang from his saddle. A pair of gas masks are secured to the saddle, a grim reminder of the deadly chemical warfare that had become a horrifying reality on the Western Front. The soldier's horse, its coat glistening with sweat, stands patiently, its ears pricked forward, ready for action. The horse's saddlebags are filled with additional supplies, including a folding shovel, a mess tin, and a cooking pot. The scene is one of quiet determination, as the soldier and his mount prepare for the next mission, their role in the Great War continuing until the Armistice was signed on November 11, 1918.
