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
Charity Hospital in East Berlin, captured on the 22nd of September 1989, stands as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by medical institutions during a tumultuous time. This powerful print by Geoff Garrett reveals the harsh reality of a hospital suffering from an acute shortage of qualified medical staff. The underlying cause? The unsanctioned immigration wave that saw large numbers of East Berliners seeking refuge and opportunities in the west. The image showcases Charite Zentrale Poliklinik, once a beacon of hope for those in need, now struggling to meet the demands placed upon it. Dilapidated walls bear witness to years of neglect while a faded sign serves as a stark reminder that this institution was once at the forefront of healthcare provision. In capturing this moment frozen in time, Garrett invites us to reflect on the human cost behind political upheaval. It prompts us to consider how shortages within vital sectors like healthcare can have far-reaching consequences for communities already grappling with uncertainty and division. This photograph is not merely an artistic representation; it is an emblematic testimony to history's impact on everyday lives. As we gaze upon Charity Hospital's facade, let us remember those who dedicated their lives to healing despite overwhelming odds - their unwavering commitment serving as inspiration even amidst adversity.
