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 print showcases John Denton Pinkstone French, Earl of Ypres, a distinguished British Army officer born in Ripple Vale, Kent, England. With an illustrious career spanning decades, French was bestowed the prestigious title of Field Marshal in 1913. At the onset of the First World War, he assumed command over the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), leading his troops with unwavering dedication and valor. However, despite his initial role as a key figure at the beginning of this global conflict, French's legacy is marred by poor judgement calls. Consequently, in December 1915, he was replaced by Douglas Haig due to concerns regarding his decision-making abilities. Nevertheless, this photograph immortalizes a pivotal moment in history when John Denton Pinkstone French stood at the helm of one of Britain's most significant military forces. His leadership and strategic acumen played a crucial role during these tumultuous times. As we gaze upon this image captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), we are reminded not only of French's contributions but also how even great leaders can face challenges that ultimately shape their legacies. This print serves as a testament to both triumphs and setbacks experienced by remarkable individuals who have left an indelible mark on our collective memory.
