17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 print takes us back to Germany in February 1990, a time when the country was undergoing significant changes. The image showcases a Trabant car, an iconic symbol of East Germany during the Cold War era. The Trabant, affectionately known as "Trabi" represents more than just a vehicle; it embodies the spirit of resilience and adaptability that characterized the German people during this transformative period. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the anticipation and hope that filled the air. The simplicity of the composition allows us to focus on every detail: from its boxy shape to its worn-out exterior, each element tells a story. The car stands proudly against a backdrop of historical significance - crumbling buildings hinting at both past hardships and future possibilities. Reg Lancaster's skilled eye captures not only an automobile but also an emblematic moment in history. This photograph serves as a reminder of how far Germany has come since reunification efforts began in late 1989. It evokes nostalgia for those who lived through these times while offering younger generations insight into their nation's journey towards unity. As we admire this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints, let us reflect on how photographs have the power to transport us across time and space, allowing us to connect with moments long gone yet forever imprinted in our collective memory.
