31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
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
This evocative photograph captures the devastating aftermath of the Allied bombing raids on the historic German city of Braunschweig, or Brunswick, in Lower Saxony, during the final stages of World War II. Circa 1946, the image reveals a desolate urban landscape, with damaged buildings lining the streets, their once grand facades now reduced to rubble and ruins. The open rooms of the damaged structures reveal the remnants of shattered interiors, a poignant reminder of the lives disrupted and homes destroyed during the conflict. The empty roads and deserted streets add to the sense of abandonment and loss. The image offers a powerful testament to the human cost of war and the long road to recovery and rebuilding that lay ahead for the people of Braunschweig and Germany as a whole in the post-war era. This photograph is a poignant and important historical record of the 1940s and the aftermath of World War II in Europe.
