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 moment of triumph during the Recapture of Kut Al Amara in Mesopotamia (now Iraq) on 24 February 1917, during the First World War. The scene depicts Indian Cavalry, specifically the Lancers, making their way along a narrow street in the town, their horses' hooves pounding against the cobblestones. The victorious soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms and helmets, ride proudly, their faces etched with determination and relief. The town of Kut Al Amara had been under siege by the Ottoman forces for over three months, resulting in the surrender of British and Indian troops in April 1916. The Allied forces, determined to reclaim the town, launched a counter-offensive in February 1917, resulting in the successful recapture of Kut Al Amara. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the soldiers involved in this significant victory during the Great War. The use of horseback cavalry adds to the historical significance of the image, as it was a common tactic during this era, and the narrow street emphasizes the close quarters and intensity of the battle. Overall, this photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the ultimate triumph of the Allied forces.
