Defence Machine Gun Gun Emplacement
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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.

This print takes us back to the tumultuous era of World War Two, specifically showcasing a WW2 gun emplacement or pillbox nestled somewhere in the scenic north east of England. The image was captured on the 30th of June, 1970, offering a glimpse into a significant historical landmark that once played an instrumental role in defending our nation. The pillbox stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit and unwavering determination exhibited by our armed forces during one of humanity's darkest chapters. Its weathered exterior tells tales of countless soldiers who manned its walls, ready to defend against enemy invasions. This relic from the Second World War serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought valiantly for peace and freedom.
