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
The front cover of Jeune Afrique from 1990 captures a powerful moment in history, showcasing the face-off between US President George Bush and Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. This iconic image represents the tense confrontation that arose after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August of that year. In this striking photograph, both leaders are depicted with stern expressions, their faces locked in a metaphorical stand-off. The intensity between them is palpable, symbolizing the conflict and division that engulfed not only these two individuals but also their respective nations. Jeune Afrique, a renowned newsweekly published in Paris since its founding by Bechir Ben Yahmed in Tunis on October 17th, 1960, chose this image to illustrate the gravity of the situation unfolding during the Gulf War. It serves as a reminder of how media plays an essential role in shaping public perception and understanding global events. This print collector's item transports us back to the tumultuous era of the 1990s when tensions ran high between America and Iraq. As we reflect on this historical moment captured within these pages, it prompts us to contemplate the complexities surrounding power dynamics and international relations.
