FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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.

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
1. Title: "A Symbol of Resistance: The Hand Grenade Used by the Latvian National Partisans during the Occupation This evocative image captures a hand grenade, a potent symbol of resistance and defiance, displayed at the Occupation Museum in Riga, Latvia. The grenade, a small but powerful explosive device, was a crucial weapon in the hands of the Latvian national partisans during the tumultuous period of World War II. The Baltic region, comprised of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, was invaded and occupied by the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany between 1940 and 1945. During this time, the Latvian people, determined to protect their national identity and sovereignty, formed various resistance movements. Among them were the Latvian partisans, who waged a guerrilla war against both occupying forces. The hand grenade, a versatile and effective weapon, was a staple in the arsenal of these brave fighters. Its simple yet devastating design made it an essential tool for close-quarter combat and ambushes. The grenade's presence in the Occupation Museum serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Latvian partisans in their quest for freedom. The image of the grenade, with its intricate design and weathered appearance, evokes a sense of history and the raw emotion of a time long past. It is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Latvian people and their unwavering commitment to their republic and European values. As we contemplate the significance of this artifact, we are reminded of the importance of remembering the past and honoring the sacrifices made by those who fought for their beliefs. The hand grenade, once a deadly weapon, now stands as a symbol of courage, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the Latvian people.
