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 historic moment in time - the opening of the Berlin Wall for border crossings over the Christmas period in 1963. After being erected in August 1961, this was the first opportunity for families to be reunited after years of separation. The image showcases an emotional scene as a family is finally brought back together. The expressions on their faces tell a story of joy and relief, mixed with tears of happiness. It symbolizes hope and resilience amidst political division during the Cold War era. While West Berliners were granted passes to visit loved ones in East Berlin, sadly, East Berliners were still barred from making the crossing. This photograph serves as a reminder of how walls can separate families and communities but also highlights moments when those barriers are temporarily lifted. It represents not only personal reunions but also signifies a brief truce between two sides locked in ideological conflict. Taken on December 22nd, 1963, this picture holds immense historical significance within its frame. It encapsulates both the pain caused by division and the power of human connection that transcends borders. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, it stands as a testament to humanity's yearning for unity even during tumultuous times like these.
