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
George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley from Wham! in China. 1985. This iconic photo captures the historic moment when George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, the dynamic duo of Wham!, set foot in China for their groundbreaking tour. In 1985, as China emerged from its Cultural Revolution, the nation was eager to embrace the world outside its borders. And who better to introduce them to Western pop music than Wham! Here they stand proudly in front of The Forbidden Palace in Tiananmen Square, Peking - a symbol of both Chinese history and newfound openness. As the first Western band to perform in Communist China, Wham! brought their infectious energy and catchy tunes to captivated audiences during their ten-day tour. Behind those smiles lies a significant cultural exchange that bridged gaps between East and West. It was an extraordinary experience for both fans and musicians alike, as they witnessed firsthand how music can transcend boundaries. Fun fact: George Michael's real name is Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou – a testament to his Greek heritage that added another layer of diversity to this remarkable journey. This photograph taken on April 9th, 1985 by Kent Gavin serves as a timeless reminder of an era when music broke down barriers and united people across continents.
