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
In this powerful photograph captured by Reg Lancaster in February 1990, we witness a significant moment in history as souvenir pieces of the Berlin Wall are being removed. The image takes us back to a time when Germany was undergoing a profound transformation, marking the end of an era and the beginning of new possibilities. The remnants of the Berlin Wall serve as tangible reminders of the division that once plagued not only Germany but also symbolized the larger Cold War conflict. As people gather around these fragments, carefully chipping away at them, there is a palpable sense of anticipation and hope for what lies ahead. This snapshot encapsulates both political significance and personal sentimentality. It represents more than just bricks and mortar; it embodies years of separation, fear, and longing for reunification. The act of removing these souvenir pieces becomes an act of reclaiming freedom and unity. Lancaster's composition skillfully captures the emotions etched on people's faces – expressions ranging from joyous smiles to pensive gazes – reflecting their collective relief that barriers are finally coming down. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that walls can be torn down physically but also metaphorically within our own lives. As we look upon this image today, it serves as a testament to human resilience and our capacity for change. It reminds us that even seemingly insurmountable obstacles can be overcome with determination and solidarity.
