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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 stark reality of post-war Berlin in August 1945, as a group of German workers diligently unload barrels of much-needed powdered milk from a British military truck. The end of the Second World War in Europe had left the city and its populace in a state of great hunger and hardship, with food supplies severely depleted. British forces, as part of the Allied occupation, played a crucial role in bringing essential provisions to the beleaguered Berliners. In this image, a British soldier stands watch over the operation, ensuring the efficient and orderly distribution of the precious cargo. The workers, dressed in their simple work clothes, are focused on their task, their faces etched with the fatigue and determination that comes from working long hours under difficult conditions. The barrels of powdered milk, stacked high on the truck, represent a lifeline for the city's hungry inhabitants, a testament to the international community's efforts to alleviate the suffering caused by the war. This historical photograph offers a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by the people of Berlin during the aftermath of the Second World War, and the vital role played by the Allied forces in bringing relief to those in need. The scene is one of hard work and determination, as the city and its people began the long road to recovery and rebuilding.
