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 powerful print captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the aftermath of a business closure in East Berlin during the tumultuous times of September 1989. The image portrays a street lined with discarded furniture, symbolizing the abrupt end to an era and the upheaval caused by unsanctioned immigration. As East Berliners flocked to the west seeking freedom and better opportunities, this unfortunate consequence left behind remnants of abandoned lives. The scene is filled with debris and rubbish, reflecting not only physical clutter but also emotional turmoil. Each piece of furniture tells its own story - chairs once occupied by hopeful customers, tables where conversations were shared, now left deserted on the cold streets. It serves as a stark reminder of how political events can disrupt daily life and leave businesses struggling to survive. Geoff Garrett's expert lens captures this moment with great sensitivity and depth. Through his composition, we witness both the tangible impact on local commerce and intangible consequences for individuals affected by these circumstances. As we reflect upon this photograph from Memory Lane Prints, it serves as a testament to resilience amidst adversity. It reminds us that even in times of uncertainty and change, communities find ways to adapt and rebuild their lives anew.
