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 the Latvian National Partisans' resistance during the 20th century occupation of Latvia. The central figure in the image is Stanislau Urbans, a prominent leader of the Latvian partisan movement, wearing his distinctive partisan hat. The hat, a symbol of defiance and resilience, is adorned with various insignia representing the different units of the partisan army. The Latvian Republic, along with its neighboring Baltic States of Estonia and Lithuania, faced a tumultuous history during the 20th century. Following the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939, Latvia was invaded and occupied by the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany in turn. In response, a diverse group of Latvian resistance fighters, including the National Partisans, waged a guerrilla war against their occupiers. The Occupation Museum of Latvia in Riga, where this photograph is housed, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Latvian people during this tumultuous period. The museum preserves the stories of individuals like Stanislau Urbans, whose courage and determination played a crucial role in the fight for Latvia's independence. The photograph, taken against the backdrop of the Latvian landscape, underscores the stark reality of the partisans' struggle. Amidst the rugged terrain and harsh weather, these brave men and women persevered, refusing to give in to the oppressive forces that sought to silence their voices. The hat worn by Stanislau Urbans stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment to their homeland and their unyielding spirit in the face of adversity. This image offers a glimpse into the rich and complex history of the Baltic region and the resilience of its people. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals like Stanislau Urbans and the Latvian National Partisans, whose stories continue to inspire and shape the narrative of Latvia's past and future.
