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 print takes us back to the tense days of the Cold War in 1989, as we witness a Soldier of the Kings regiment of the British Army on foot patrol in West Germany. The soldier's stern expression and focused gaze reflect the seriousness and dedication with which he carries out his duty to protect and secure the barracks. The image transports us to a time when military devices were an integral part of daily life for soldiers stationed abroad. In this case, we can only imagine what weapons lay hidden beneath his uniform, ready to be deployed at a moment's notice should any threat arise. As we delve into history, it is important to note that this photograph was taken just weeks before one of the most significant events in modern European history – the fall of the Berlin Wall. Against such a backdrop, tensions were high and security measures intensified. Eddie Barford skillfully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also provides us with valuable insights into an era marked by political division and military preparedness. This photo serves as a reminder of those who served their country during challenging times, showcasing their unwavering commitment even amidst uncertainty. Let this image transport you back to November 6th, 1989 - an emblematic representation of bravery and duty during one chapter in our collective memory.
