17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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
This print captures Albrecht Durer's "Self Portrait with a Pillow" from 1493, which was featured in Wilhelm Waetzoldt's book "Durer, Und Seine Zeit". The image is now part of the esteemed collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In this self-portrait, Durer presents himself in a nightdress, peacefully asleep on a pillow. His intricate hairstyle and detailed facial features are beautifully depicted by his own hand. As one of Germany's most renowned artists, Durer showcases his skillful technique and attention to detail through this monochrome composition. The photograph transports us back to the 1940s when it was captured by an unknown photographer for publication in "The Print Collector" magazine. It provides us with a glimpse into the past as we witness Durer's self-reflection during a time when Germany faced significant historical events. Dressed in traditional German attire, this portrait not only represents an individual but also symbolizes the spirit of an entire nation. Through his artistry, Durer conveys both vulnerability and strength within himself and his country. As we observe this image today, we can appreciate how it encapsulates centuries of history while remaining timeless in its artistic expression. It serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil or uncertainty, art has the power to transcend boundaries and connect people across generations.
