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 print depicts a pivotal moment in German history: the dismissal of Otto von Bismarck as Chancellor by Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1890. Bismarck, a towering figure in European politics, is shown here being "dropped" from the pilot house of a ship labeled "Prussia," symbolizing his sudden and unexpected removal from power. The image is a poignant representation of the political upheaval that followed Bismarck's dismissal, which marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter in German history. Otto von Bismarck, a skilled diplomat and statesman, had led Germany through a series of victories and unifications, earning him the moniker "Iron Chancellor." However, his political stance on issues such as social reform and foreign policy clashed with the more liberal views of Kaiser Wilhelm II. In an unprecedented move, the Kaiser dismissed Bismarck, sparking widespread shock and controversy. The print's title, "Dropping Pilot (Otto Bismarck: German Chancellor dismissed by Kaiser Wilhelm II)," underscores the unexpected and dramatic nature of the event. The image of Bismarck being "dropped" from the ship's pilot house is a powerful metaphor for the sudden and unexpected nature of his dismissal. The print also features a small crowd gathered at the water's edge, watching the scene unfold, symbolizing the widespread interest and intrigue surrounding the event. This historical print offers a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of late 19th-century Europe and the complex power dynamics at play. It is a testament to the enduring significance of Otto von Bismarck's tenure as Chancellor and the far-reaching consequences of his dismissal.
