FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
In this striking photograph from February 1928, communist demonstrators are seen being attacked by a group of patriotic counter-protesters during a presidential visit to the city of Strasbourg, France. The communists had gathered to voice their political opinions, but their peaceful demonstration was met with violence from the patriots, who opposed their ideologies. The image captures the chaos and tension of the moment, with communist demonstrators attempting to defend themselves against their attackers, while others seek refuge behind police lines. The police, who were supposed to maintain order, are seen trying to separate the two groups and restore calm to the scene. The presidential visit to Strasbourg was intended to be a symbolic gesture of national unity and reconciliation, but this incident highlighted the deep divisions and political tensions that existed within French society at the time. The communist party, which had gained significant support in the aftermath of World War I, was seen as a threat to the established order, and their public demonstrations often provoked strong reactions from their opponents. Despite the violence and chaos depicted in this photograph, it is an important reminder of the rich historical context of the time and the complex political dynamics that shaped French society in the interwar period. The image also underscores the importance of freedom of speech and assembly, and the need for peaceful resolution of political conflicts.
