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 photograph, taken by James Maxwell Pringle in 1917 or 1918, transports us back to the aftermath of the Russian Revolution in Moscow. The image showcases a haunting scene of bullet-riddled buildings standing as silent witnesses to the turbulent times that unfolded during this period of history. The sepia-toned print captures the eerie atmosphere that engulfed Moscow shortly after the Bolsheviks came into power. The damage inflicted upon these once majestic structures serves as a stark reminder of the violence and chaos that accompanied this revolution. Each bullet hole tells a story, revealing fragments of a nation torn apart by political upheaval. Pringle's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and decay present in these exteriors. Despite their dilapidated state, there is an undeniable beauty in these architectural remnants, symbolizing resilience amidst destruction. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in time when Russia was undergoing radical transformation under communist rule. It serves as a poignant reminder of how revolutions can leave indelible marks on cities and societies alike.
