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 takes us back to the turbulent era of World War II, specifically showcasing the iconic Maginot Line. As one gazes at this historical image, we are transported to a French defensive installation where troops diligently work within an underground artillery tower. The focal point of the picture captures a man in the foreground meticulously handling a time-fuse setter, his concentrated expression reflecting the gravity of their mission. The photograph encapsulates both the ingenuity and determination that characterized this crucial period in history. Constructed as a formidable barrier against potential German invasions, the Maginot Line symbolized France's unwavering commitment to protect its borders from enemy forces during early 1940. This particular snapshot offers an intimate glimpse into daily life on these fortified grounds. The meticulous attention to detail evident in every aspect of this image is awe-inspiring; from soldiers clad in military uniforms working together with precision, to intricate machinery surrounding them - it all speaks volumes about their dedication and preparedness for any eventuality. As we reflect upon this powerful visual representation captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), let us remember those who valiantly defended their homeland amidst unimaginable turmoil. May it serve as a poignant reminder of humanity's resilience during times of war and our collective pursuit for peace.
