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 historic print captures a poignant moment in the aftermath of World War II. In April 1945, amidst the ruins of Koenigsberg, German war prisoners find themselves marching through the desolate streets under the watchful eye of an officer. The image speaks volumes about the profound impact and consequences of war. The scene is filled with contrasting emotions - on one hand, we see defeated soldiers stripped off their uniforms and dignity, reduced to mere prisoners of war. Their weary faces reflect a mixture of resignation and uncertainty as they navigate through a city that once stood proud but now lies in ruins. On the other hand, there is an air of authority exuded by the officer leading them; his stern gaze symbolizing both control and perhaps even empathy for those he commands. This photograph serves as a stark reminder that wars have far-reaching consequences beyond just battles fought on distant frontlines. It encapsulates the human tragedy experienced by both victors and vanquished alike during this tumultuous period in history. Preserved by Universal Images Group (UIG), this powerful image invites us to reflect upon our shared past while reminding us to strive for peace and understanding in our present world.
