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 titled "Baghdad, Iraq - Hands of Victory" captures the essence of triumph and remembrance in a single frame. The image showcases the iconic Hands of Victory monument in Baghdad, Iraq, which consists of two colossal 24-ton blades. These blades are believed to have been recast from the guns of deceased Iranian soldiers and molded to resemble Saddam Hussein's forearms. The photograph depicts a vibrant street scene with a medium-sized group of people passing by this awe-inspiring structure. The Swords of Qadisiyah memorial stands tall as an archway, symbolizing victory and resilience amidst the backdrop of war-torn Baghdad. In this snapshot, we witness a blend of history and modernity as a military vehicle, specifically a high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle (HMMWV), commonly known as Humvee, crosses under the archway. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, life continues to move forward. Terry Moore skillfully captures every detail with his photography expertise. The color image beautifully portrays the curvature and crossed swords within the monument's design while highlighting its significance as both a tribute to fallen soldiers and an emblematic representation of Iraqi strength. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also serves as a poignant reminder for all who view it – honoring those who fought bravely during Operation Iraqi Freedom while showcasing Baghdad's resilient spirit amid adversity in the Middle East.
