1943 Bomb Damage Dambusters Destruction Power Station
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 poignant print captures the devastating aftermath of the RAF Dam Busters raid during World War II. Taken a mere four hours after the attack, it showcases the severely damaged Mohne Dam in Germany's Ruhr Valley. The sheer power of this bombing raid is evident as the dam stands crippled and broken, its once mighty structure now reduced to rubble. The consequences of this assault were far-reaching, extending beyond just physical destruction. The 300 hydroelectric power stations that relied on this dam for their operation were rendered useless, plunging the entire valley into darkness and disrupting daily life for its inhabitants. This single act of war had effectively crippled an entire region's access to electricity. Dated May 17th, 1943, this image serves as a stark reminder of the immense damage inflicted during World War II. It symbolizes not only conflict but also resilience in times of adversity. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back to an era where bombs rained down from above and communities faced unimaginable challenges. Let us remember those who lived through these dark days and honor their strength in rebuilding what was lost. This print is a testament to human perseverance amidst destruction—a visual representation of history that should never be forgotten or repeated.
