News Paper Uprising 1919 January Spartacist
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 print captures the aftermath of the fierce fighting that took place in the Newspaper District of Berlin during the Spartacist Uprising in January 1919. The Vorwaerts Buildings, located in the heart of the district, stand as a testament to the historical significance of this pivotal moment in German history. The Spartacist Uprising, also known as the German Revolution, was a series of events that occurred between January and March 1919, as the German people rose up against the German military and right-wing paramilitary forces in an attempt to establish a socialist government. The Newspaper District, home to many of Berlin's major newspapers, became a focal point of the conflict as both sides sought to control the flow of information to the public. In this image, the Vorwaerts Buildings, which housed the headquarters of the left-wing Vorwaerts newspaper, are shown with their facade riddled with bullet holes and shattered windows. The destruction is a stark reminder of the intense fighting that took place in the area, as well as the wider political turmoil that engulfed Germany during this period. Despite the devastation, the Vorwaerts Buildings continued to serve as a symbol of resistance and hope for the German people. Even as the Spartacist Uprising was ultimately suppressed by the German military, the legacy of this historical event lived on, shaping the course of German history in the years to come. This print offers a powerful glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political upheaval and social change. It serves as a reminder of the importance of standing up for one's beliefs, even in the face of adversity, and the enduring power of the written word to inspire and inform.
