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 print captures the aftermath of a fierce battle between Gaddafi forces and Libya's Transitional National Council army, with crucial air support from NATO. The image showcases a haunting scene just outside Ajadabiya, Libya, where a group of T-55 tanks lies destroyed and abandoned in the vast desert landscape. The destruction depicted here serves as a powerful testament to the intensity and brutality of the Libyan civil war that erupted on March 17,2011. As Muammar Gaddafi's regime clashed with rebel forces seeking political change and liberation, NATO intervened to provide assistance. Andrew Chittock's photography skillfully portrays the remnants of this conflict, emphasizing both the devastating impact on human lives and infrastructure. The damaged tanks stand as silent witnesses to an era marked by rebellion, imperialism, and political upheaval in North Africa. In this horizontal composition against a clear sky backdrop, no people are present—only these Soviet-made T-55 tanks left in ruins. Their battered frames symbolize not only physical destruction but also shattered dreams for those who fought for change during this tumultuous period. This thought-provoking image invites viewers to reflect on the consequences of armed conflicts while shedding light on foreign military involvement in crisis-ridden regions like Libya. Andrew Chittock's photograph is an evocative reminder that even amidst desolation and wreckage, hope can emerge from ashes as nations strive towards peace and stability.
