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 by Stephen Rafferty captures the profound social and political complexities that have shaped Belfast's landscape. The image showcases the imposing Peace Line barrier, which stands as a stark reminder of the deep-seated divisions between the Catholic Lower Falls and Protestant Shankill areas in Northern Ireland. The photograph not only highlights the architectural aspects of this urban defense structure but also delves into its symbolic significance. The towering wall, fortified with fences and barricades, represents both protection and segregation simultaneously. It serves as a physical manifestation of conflict and division that has plagued this region for decades. Rafferty's lens skillfully captures the contrasting elements within this frame - on one side lies a predominantly Catholic neighborhood adorned with colorful murals depicting their cultural heritage, while on the other side stands an equally vibrant Protestant community. Yet, it is this formidable barrier that separates them, reminding us of the ongoing tensions that still persist despite efforts towards peace. Through his lens, Rafferty prompts viewers to reflect upon broader issues surrounding politics and social dynamics. This powerful image invites contemplation about how such barriers impact communities' daily lives while raising questions about reconciliation and unity in post-conflict societies. In summary, Stephen Rafferty's thought-provoking photograph encapsulates not only architectural features but also deeper narratives surrounding politics, social issues, conflict resolution efforts – all centered around this iconic Peace Line barrier in Belfast.
