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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating impact of World War I on a farm in Artois, France. In the midst of intense fighting between German and Allied forces, this peaceful countryside was transformed into a scene of chaos and destruction. The image shows brave individuals battling to extinguish a fire that had been ignited by German shellfire. The flames engulfing the farm serve as a haunting reminder of the horrors endured during this global conflict. The resilience and determination exhibited by those fighting against both enemy fire and raging infernos is truly awe-inspiring. Their efforts symbolize the unwavering spirit of those caught in the crossfire, refusing to surrender even in the face of immense danger. Artois, once an idyllic landscape, now bears witness to severe damage inflicted upon it by years of warfare. This photograph serves as a poignant testament to the toll exacted upon innocent civilians and their livelihoods during World War I. Originally published in Le Flambeau newspaper on September 18th, 1915, this image offers us a glimpse into history - reminding us not only of the physical devastation caused by war but also highlighting humanity's ability to persevere amidst unimaginable circumstances.
