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 captures a defining moment in history - the German occupation of Paris during World War II in June 1940. The iconic Arc de Triomphe stands tall and proud, but now adorned with the flag of the occupying forces. The imposing presence of the German flag flying from this symbol of French national pride serves as a stark reminder of the city's surrender and its subsequent subjugation under Nazi rule. The image evokes a sense of both awe and sorrow, as it showcases the triumph and power wielded by Germany at that time, while also highlighting the immense loss experienced by France. The Arc de Triomphe itself becomes an emblematic witness to this tumultuous period, standing as a silent observer to one of history's most significant events. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to those dark days when Paris was occupied by foreign troops. It prompts us to reflect on the resilience and courage displayed by ordinary citizens who endured unimaginable hardships during these trying times. This poignant visual testament reminds us never to forget our past or take for granted our hard-fought freedoms. It is through images like these that we can learn from history's lessons, ensuring that such conflicts remain confined within their frames rather than being repeated in reality.
