Freed Hostage Middle East Negotiator 1992
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 print captured by Ken Lennox, we are transported back to the 1990s, a significant period in history when British journalist John McCarthy emerged as a symbol of resilience and hope. The image showcases McCarthy alongside his former girlfriend Jill Morrell and fellow former hostage Terry Waite at a joyous celebration lunch held at Terry's favorite Italian restaurant. The photograph encapsulates the profound impact that their release from captivity had on the world. As hostages in war-torn Beirut, they endured unimaginable hardships for years, becoming symbols of international negotiations and religious tensions. Yet here they stand, freed from their ordeal and ready to embrace life once again. John McCarthy's unwavering determination as both a journalist and negotiator shines through in this image. His courage serves as an inspiration to all those who face adversity head-on. Jill Morrell stands beside him, her presence representing not only love but also the strength found within relationships during times of immense struggle. Terry Waite, known for his tireless efforts in negotiating with captors throughout the Middle East, adds another layer of significance to this photograph. Together with McCarthy and Morrell, he represents triumph over despair - proof that even amidst chaos there is room for compassion and understanding. Ken Lennox has masterfully immortalized this momentous occasion through his lens; reminding us all of the power of resilience, faith in humanity's capacity for good deeds, and our ability to overcome even the darkest chapters of our lives.
