Cross Fires Grave Smoke World War One 1910s
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
In this poignant print from Memory Lane Prints, a simple cross stands tall, marking the final resting place of a brave Belgian soldier who lost his life during the intense fighting near Diksmuide. It was taken amidst the chaos and devastation of the Battle of the Yser in October 1914. As thick smoke billows across the battlefield, farmhouses burn fiercely in the distance, serving as haunting reminders of the destruction wrought by war. The air is filled with an eerie combination of solemnity and violence as shells burst overhead, their deafening explosions echoing through the desolate landscape. This image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates an entire era marked by conflict and sacrifice. It serves as a somber testament to those who gave their lives for their country during World War One – a war that reshaped nations and left an indelible mark on history. The simplicity of this cross against such a backdrop speaks volumes about both loss and hope. It symbolizes not only one soldier's grave but also represents countless others who met similar fates on these blood-soaked fields. Through this evocative photograph, we are reminded to honor those who made unimaginable sacrifices for our freedom while reflecting upon humanity's capacity for both destruction and resilience.
