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.

1. Title: Camouflaged Railway Mounted Gun Emplacement during the First World War This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of the strategic innovation and military ingenuity employed by the armies during the First World War. The image portrays a railway mounted gun emplacement, skillfully camouflaged with two shades of paint to blend in with the surrounding environment. The gun and mounting, a formidable weapon of war, have been expertly disguised to evade enemy detection. The year is 1914-1918, a time when the Great War raged across Europe, and the importance of mobility and surprise became crucial factors in the battlefield. The railway system played a significant role in the transportation of troops and supplies, but it also served as a vital means of deploying heavy artillery quickly and efficiently to the front lines. The soldiers in this photograph, dressed in their military uniforms, stand guard over the camouflaged emplacement, their faces a mix of concentration and determination. Their presence underscores the importance of human intervention in the operation of these weapons and the critical role they played in the outcome of the war. The use of camouflage was a relatively new concept during the First World War, and the application of paint to disguise the emplacement was a testament to the evolving tactics employed by the military. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of military innovation and the lengths to which soldiers went to gain an advantage on the battlefield. The railway mounted gun emplacement, with its camouflaged paint job, stands as a powerful reminder of the technological and strategic advancements that shaped the course of the First World War. This image, taken from the extensive collection of historical photographs at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in world history.
