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 print from the Royal Sussex Regiment Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history - the entrance to the Suez Canal during World War I. The image showcases the architectural marvel of this vital waterway, which served as a crucial passage for ships traveling between Europe and Asia. As we gaze upon this landscape, it is impossible not to be struck by the immense scale and grandeur of the canal's construction. The photograph transports us to Egypt, where members of RSR 2 / 6th Battalion stood witness to this awe-inspiring sight. This snapshot captures a moment frozen in time, allowing us to glimpse into their experiences during those tumultuous years between 1916-19. The port depicted in this image stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination amidst adversity. It serves as a reminder of how infrastructure can shape history and connect nations across vast distances. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's extensive collection, this photograph offers an invaluable window into our past. It allows us to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely during World War I while also appreciating the beauty found within these historical moments
