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 painting captures the grim reality of the Battle of the Somme in 1918, a major engagement during World War I on the Western Front in France. The scene unfolds in the muddy, cratered landscape of the trenches, where British soldiers huddle, their faces etched with exhaustion and determination. The first world war, a conflict that changed the face of warfare forever, was marked by the unprecedented use of technology, such as machine guns and artillery, leading to a stalemate in the trenches. The Battle of the Somme, fought between July and November 1916, was one of the largest and bloodiest battles in history, with over one million casualties. This painting, created in 1918, offers a poignant and powerful reminder of the human cost of war. The soldiers, bundled up against the cold and rain, peer over the edge of their trench, their eyes scanning the no-man's land for any signs of enemy movement. The tension in the air is palpable, as both sides wait for the next opportunity to strike. The use of muted colors and heavy brushstrokes adds to the sense of foreboding and despair, making this a moving and thought-provoking work of art. The Battle of the Somme was a turning point in the war, with the Allies ultimately gaining ground but at a great cost. This painting serves as a testament to the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who fought in this historic battle, and to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve the essence of history.
