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.

Metropolis
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Thea von Harbou: A Visionary Journey into the Heart of a Futuristic Metropolis The captivating front cover of this novel, penned by the brilliant German author Thea von Harbou, invites us to embark on a thrilling journey into the heart of a dystopian, futuristic city. Published in 1926, a year before Fritz Lang's iconic film adaptation hit the silver screen, this book served as the original blueprint for the groundbreaking science fiction masterpiece. The image on the cover, an intricate blend of expressionist art and cutting-edge design, encapsulates the essence of the story. The towering cityscape, bathed in an ethereal glow, represents the pinnacle of human achievement and the dark underbelly of unchecked capitalism and mechanization. The contrast between the gleaming, metallic structures and the chaotic, organic forms below symbolizes the stark divide between the haves and the have-nots, the masters and the slaves, the rulers and the ruled. Thea von Harbou's "Metropolis" is a testament to the power of the written word in shaping the visual language of science fiction. Her vivid descriptions and thought-provoking ideas laid the foundation for Fritz Lang's iconic film, which has since become a cornerstone of the genre. This book is not just a precursor to a cinematic classic; it is a work of art in its own right, a visionary exploration of the human condition in a world ruled by machines. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing cover, we are transported to a fantastical realm where dreams and reality converge. We are reminded of the power of imagination to inspire, to challenge, and to transform the way we see the world. "Metropolis" by Thea von Harbou is a must-read for anyone who dares to dream of a future where technology and humanity coexist in a delicate balance.
