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.

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
Soviet Leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher engage in a historic news conference outside 10 Downing Street on April 6th, 1989. This print by Bill Rowntree captures the essence of this significant moment in political history. In the midst of the Cold War era, Gorbachev's visit to London marked a turning point in international relations. As leaders of two opposing ideologies - conservative Thatcher representing capitalist Britain and Gorbachev leading the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) - their meeting held immense global significance. The image showcases both leaders deep in conversation, their expressions reflecting intense deliberation and mutual respect. Their talks undoubtedly covered crucial topics such as disarmament treaties, economic cooperation, and easing tensions between East and West. Gorbachev's progressive policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) had already begun reshaping Soviet society. This meeting with Thatcher further emphasized his commitment to diplomatic engagement with Western powers. As we reflect on this photograph today, it serves as a reminder that even during times of ideological differences and geopolitical challenges, dialogue remains essential for progress. The encounter between these influential figures symbolizes an attempt to bridge divides through diplomacy rather than confrontation. Bill Rowntree's exceptional photography immortalizes this pivotal moment when politics transcended boundaries for the sake of peace and understanding.
