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 ruins of the First World War battlefield, this intricately crafted inkwell stands as a poignant reminder of the conflict that once raged around it. Dating back to the early 1900s, this WWI tank inkwell was discovered lying on the battlefield and later mounted on a wooden plinth, transforming it into a unique and historical piece of trench art. The inkwell, with its intricate design of a World War I tank, represents the technological advancements and innovation that characterized the war. The tank, a symbol of power and strength, was first introduced to the battlefield in 1916 and revolutionized the way wars were fought. The inkwell's journey from the battlefield to its current resting place is a testament to the enduring impact of the First World War on history. Trench art, created by soldiers during their downtime, reflects the creativity and resourcefulness of those who lived through the horrors of the war. Each piece tells a story, offering a glimpse into the lives of the soldiers who made them. The inkwell's intricate details, from the tank's treads to its gun turret, show the skill and artistry of the soldier who created it. The wooden plinth, weathered and worn from the passage of time, adds to the inkwell's historical significance. This WWI tank inkwell is not just an object, but a piece of history that brings the past to life. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The inkwell's intricate design and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of military memorabilia or historical artifacts.
