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.

A Defiant Spirit Against the Winter's Wrath: A Warsaw Street Sweeper Braves the Snow in 1987 Date: 1987, Warsaw, Poland Photographer: Philip Dunn This evocative black-and-white image captures the resilient spirit of a Warsaw street sweeper, bravely tackling the relentless winter weather as she cleans the snow-laden streets of Poland's capital city. Taken in 1987, this powerful photograph encapsulates the determination and grit of the working woman as she wields her broom and brush against the backdrop of a wintry landscape. The scene is set in the heart of Warsaw, with the city's distinctive architecture and urban landscape providing a poignant contrast to the serene stillness of the snowfall. The woman, bundled up against the cold, is a testament to the unwavering dedication of the Polish workforce during this era. Her focused expression and the determined set of her jaw convey a sense of purpose and determination that transcends the harsh conditions. The image, taken by the renowned British photographer Philip Dunn, offers a glimpse into the daily life of Warsaw's residents during the 1980s.

This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the everyday heroes who persevered through the challenges, ensuring that life continued as normally as possible amidst the adversity. As the snow continues to fall, the street sweeper remains undeterred, her unyielding spirit a beacon of hope and resilience in the face of winter's wrath. This powerful image stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the enduring strength of the human will.
