1979 Berlin Cold Germany Guard Landmark Police Troops Wall Winter
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
British troops bravely patrol the icy no-man's land, guarding the infamous Berlin Wall that divided a city and symbolized the Cold War era. This print captures a historic moment on December 13th, 1979, when tensions between East and West Germany were at their peak. In this snapshot from the 1970s, we witness soldiers trudging through deep snow in their determined effort to maintain order and protect freedom. The chilling winter landscape serves as a stark reminder of the harsh conditions these brave men faced daily while serving their country. The image showcases an iconic landmark - the Berlin Wall - which stood tall as both a physical barrier and an ideological divide for nearly three decades. British troops stationed here played a crucial role in safeguarding peace amidst political turmoil. Amongst them stands a Scorpion tank, its imposing presence reflecting military strength and readiness. These soldiers not only patrolled but also provided reassurance to those living under constant surveillance on either side of this concrete monstrosity. This photograph by Wilkinson is more than just an archival piece; it encapsulates history frozen in time. It reminds us of sacrifices made by countless individuals who dedicated themselves to preserving liberty during one of humanity's most challenging periods.
