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 photograph captures a moment of unexpected connection and cultural exchange between an American soldier and a Japanese Geisha in the aftermath of World War II. Taken in October 1945, just months after the end of the war, this image symbolizes hope for reconciliation and understanding between former enemies.
The contrast between the American serviceman in his military uniform and the elegant Geisha in traditional attire is striking, highlighting the meeting of two vastly different worlds. Despite language barriers and historical animosities, they are united by music and dance, sharing a brief but meaningful encounter within the walls of a Tokyo Geisha House.
In this single frame, we witness a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history - one marked by both devastation and possibility. The smiles on their faces speak volumes about the power of human connection to transcend political divides.
As we reflect on this image today, it serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and turmoil, moments of unity and understanding are always possible. It is through gestures like these that bridges can be built towards peace and mutual respect. This photograph stands as a testament to the resilience of humanity in times of adversity.
