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 chilling moment of the attempted assassination of Wilhelm I, Emperor of Germany. Karl Edward Nobiling, the would-be assassin, is seen gripping a rifle as he leans out from an upstairs window. The intensity in his eyes and the determination on his face are hauntingly evident. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of bustling activity on a sunny day. A horse-drawn cart passes by, symbolizing the ordinary rhythm of life disrupted by this shocking act. A medium group of people gathers below, their expressions ranging from concern to disbelief at what they have just witnessed. In this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse into both British and German cultures converging amidst this historic event. Mature men stand alongside mid-adult men, representing different walks of life united in shock and horror. Two young girls nearby seem oblivious to the danger that has unfolded before them. Amidst all this chaos stands Wilhelm I himself - unharmed but forever changed by this near-tragic incident. This image serves as a reminder not only of one man's attempt to alter history through violence but also highlights the resilience and strength embodied by royalty. Preserved within the pages of "The Illustrated London News" this photograph continues to captivate viewers with its raw emotion and historical significance. It serves as a testament to how even moments fraught with danger can be transformed into powerful symbols for generations to come.
