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.

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 intense gaze and unwavering determination of an Italian Garibaldier Infantryman during the First World War. Dated January 1915, the image finds the soldier standing amidst the forested landscape of the Argonne region, his uniform adorned with brightly colored insignia and accents, a stark contrast against the muted tones of the winter forest. The Garibaldier, named after the Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi, is easily identified by his distinctive neckscarf, or cravat, and the clipped, waxed moustache that was a hallmark of the Italian military at the time. The Garibaldier Infantry, also known as the "Blackshirts," were a volunteer militia formed in 1860 to support the unification of Italy. By the onset of the First World War, they had been integrated into the Italian military as elite infantry units. In this photograph, the soldier is shown smoking a cigarette, a common habit among soldiers during this era, adding a sense of humanizing detail to the image. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its portrayal of the Italian military's unique identity during the First World War. The vivid colors and intricate details of the uniforms, as well as the individuality of the soldier's expression, serve as a poignant reminder of the human stories that are often lost amidst the larger narrative of global conflicts. This powerful image invites us to reflect on the experiences of the men and women who served during this pivotal period in history, and the sacrifices they made for their countries and their beliefs.
