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
In this evocative photograph from the 1960s, the stark reality of the Berlin Wall's division of East and West Germany is on full display. The image captures a rural view of the wall, with an observation tower looming in the distance on the outskirts of Berlin, Germany. The wall, a symbol of the Cold War and the political and ideological divide between communist East and capitalist West, stretches out as far as the eye can see, its gray concrete surface a grim reminder of the border that separated families, friends, and entire communities. The observation tower, a watchtower used by border guards to keep a constant lookout for any signs of escape attempts, adds to the dismal and depressing atmosphere of the scene. People can be seen in the foreground, their expressions hinting at a sense of longing or melancholy as they gaze at the other side of the wall, which remains out of reach. The photograph captures the essence of a time when Europe was divided, and the world held its breath as tensions between the superpowers threatened to ignite a larger conflict. The Berlin Wall stood as a physical and symbolic barrier, dividing not just a city, but a nation and a continent. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the past and the political and ideological divisions that once defined Europe and the world.
