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 titled "The Women's Army Auxiliary Corps gardeners seen here tending the graves of our fallen heroes on the Western Front" we are transported back to a significant moment in history. Captured on the 27th of September, 1917, during World War One, this image encapsulates both the bravery and compassion exhibited by these remarkable women. Amidst rows of crosses and headstones in a British military cemetery, these dedicated gardeners can be seen meticulously tending to the final resting places of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Clad in their uniforms, they wield rakes with determination and grace as they honor their fallen comrades. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that war not only affects soldiers but also leaves an indelible mark on society as a whole. The presence of women on the Western Front was revolutionary at that time, challenging traditional gender roles and showcasing their unwavering commitment to serving their country. Through black-and-white imagery that evokes both solemnity and resilience, we are reminded of the immense sacrifices made during this tumultuous period. This print from Memory Lane Prints allows us to pay tribute to those who fought bravely for freedom while highlighting an often-overlooked aspect: how even amidst conflict and destruction, beauty can still flourish through acts of care and remembrance.
