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 powerful image captures the aftermath of the Easter Rising, a pivotal moment in Irish history that took place during Easter Week in 1916. The rebellion was an armed insurrection led by Irish republicans who sought to end British rule in Ireland and establish an independent Irish Republic. The United Kingdom, heavily engaged in World War I, was taken by surprise by the uprising. The photograph was taken on Sackville Street, now known as O'Connell Street, in the heart of Dublin. The ruins of buildings in the background bear testament to the intense fighting that took place in the city during the rebellion. The statue in the foreground, which appears undamaged, stands as a silent witness to the political, violent, and sectarian clashes that erupted during this tumultuous time. The Easter Rising marked the beginning of the end of British rule in Ireland and the rise of Irish nationalism and republicanism. The rebellion was initially put down by British forces, but the aftermath brought about a shift in public opinion in Ireland and led to the eventual establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. The image also serves as a reminder of the human cost of the conflict, with the scattered debris and burnt-out shells hinting at the destruction and chaos that engulfed the city during the rebellion. The presence of a loaf of bread on the ground adds a poignant touch to the scene, symbolizing the struggle for basic necessities amid the chaos and uncertainty of those days.
