FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 Granger Art on Demand takes us back to the tumultuous era of World War II in Libya. Captured around 1942, it showcases a street corner in Tobruk, where signposts printed in German and Italian stand as remnants of the former Axis offices. The image transports us to a time when this North African city was at the heart of intense conflict. The signs, written in both languages, serve as tangible evidence of the presence and influence exerted by Germany and Italy during this period. They are powerful symbols that remind us of the complex dynamics that shaped World War II. A man can be seen standing mid-frame, adding a human element to this historical snapshot. His presence hints at daily life amidst war-torn surroundings – an ordinary individual navigating extraordinary circumstances. North Africa played a significant role during World War II, serving as a battleground for various forces vying for control over strategic territories. This photograph encapsulates that pivotal moment with its stark visual contrast between the foreign signage and the local environment. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded not only of the immense impact that war has on nations but also how history leaves behind traces embedded within our physical landscapes. It serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's ability to endure even amidst chaos and destruction.
