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 evocative photograph captures the essence of life in the Falls Road area of Belfast, Northern Ireland during the tumultuous year of 1969. Two men, deep in conversation on the pavement, are oblivious to the dilapidated surroundings that form the backdrop to their interaction. The dingy houses and peeling paintwork of the terraced buildings, the worn-out pavement, and the narrow, dimly-lit street create a sense of deprivation and hardship. The atmosphere is further heightened by the presence of children playing in the foreground, their innocent laughter and games a stark contrast to the underlying tensions and divisions that were beginning to boil over in this Catholic enclave of the city. The Falls Road area, with its history of segregation and political unrest, was a focal point of the Northern Irish Troubles, which would continue to plague the region for decades. This image offers a poignant snapshot of everyday life in a community that was on the brink of change, a time when the simple act of two men chatting on a corner seemed like a precious moment of normalcy amidst the chaos.
