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 powerful print captures a defining moment in history - the German invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939. With 45 German divisions and aerial attacks, this marked the beginning of World War II. The image showcases the harsh reality of war, with soldiers and tanks advancing towards an unknown destination. The intensity of the scene is palpable as troops move forward with determination, their faces etched with both fear and resolve. The vehicles rumble across the landscape, leaving trails of dust in their wake. It is a chilling reminder of the destructive power unleashed during this dark period. Amidst all this chaos, Warsaw stands tall as a symbol of resistance. Despite being besieged for weeks, it defiantly holds out against overwhelming odds until its final surrender on 29 September. This photograph encapsulates not only the brutality but also the resilience displayed by both sides during these tumultuous times. As we reflect upon this significant event from over eight decades ago, let us remember those who fought valiantly on both sides - soldiers who were mere pawns in a larger political game. This print serves as a poignant reminder that war leaves no winners; rather it brings destruction and suffering to all involved parties.
