Chess Refugee Refugees Sinaia Ww 2 Ww Ii
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
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. 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 a moment of respite and normalcy amidst the chaos and hardships of World War II. Taken on the SS Sinaia, a refugee transport ship docked in Marseille, France, the image shows a group of refugees huddled together around a makeshift chessboard. The SS Sinaia was one of many ships that played a crucial role in the evacuation and resettlement of refugees during the Second World War. As the war raged on, millions of people were displaced from their homes, fleeing the horrors of conflict, persecution, and violence. The SS Sinaia, along with other ships in the refugee transport fleet, provided a lifeline for those seeking safety and a new beginning. The journey was long and arduous, with cramped conditions and limited resources, but the promise of a better future kept hope alive. The game of chess, a timeless and universal pastime, served as a reminder of the humanity and dignity of the refugees, despite their dire circumstances. The concentration on the game, the focus and determination in their eyes, speaks volumes about their resilience and determination to hold on to their identity and sense of normalcy, even in the most challenging of times. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure and adapt, even in the face of unimaginable adversity. It is a testament to the strength and courage of those who lived through the darkest days of World War II and a reminder of the importance of empathy, compassion, and solidarity in times of crisis.
