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 spirit of the Revolution in Petrograd, Russia, in 1917. The image shows a group of determined revolutionaries, a mix of soldiers and sailors, gathered together in a tense and defiant display. The setting is the bustling city of Petrograd, now St. Petersburg, which was at the heart of the Russian Revolution. The year 1917 was a pivotal moment in Russian history, marked by political upheaval and social unrest. The Russian people, weary of the ineffective and corrupt Tsarist regime, took to the streets in mass protests. The military, long a key player in Russian politics, played a significant role in the Revolution. Soldiers and sailors, inspired by the revolutionary fervor, joined the masses, leading to a series of uprisings that would ultimately bring about the downfall of the Tsarist regime. This photograph is a testament to the power of the people, and the determination of those who were willing to risk their lives for a better future. The revolutionaries in the image, with their serious expressions and clenched fists, convey a sense of purpose and resolve. The Russian Revolution would have far-reaching consequences, leading to the establishment of the Soviet Union and shaping the course of world history. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for change, and the enduring power of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It is a powerful image that continues to resonate with us today, as we reflect on the complex and often tumultuous history of Russia and the world.
