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
Amidst the muddy trenches and chaotic battlefields of northern France during the First World War, communication lines were a crucial lifeline for the British Army. In this evocative image, a Royal Engineer soldier is seen intently reading a message brought to him by a brave messenger dog, undeterred by the obstacle of a canal. The soldier, clad in a wet uniform and helmet, wades through the murky water, focusing intently on the important information contained within the tin can held in the dog's mouth. The tranquil scene is a stark contrast to the chaos and destruction of war, highlighting the vital role of animals in the military effort. The messenger dog, with its collar tag bearing the number '1st R.E.', swims alongside the soldier, its eyes fixed on its handler. The serene, pastoral setting of the wooded area surrounding the canal adds a sense of stillness and calm to the otherwise frenetic scene. This poignant photograph, taken between 1914 and 1918, is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the soldiers and animals who played a vital role in the communications network during the Great War.
