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
Caption: In this poignant print captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back to the aftermath of World War I in Germany, where hyperinflation wreaked havoc on the nation's economy. The image showcases a solemn scene, depicting three children standing formally indoors, their eyes fixed upon a towering stack of Deutschmarks. It is 1919, and these once valuable paper currencies have been reduced to mere symbols of economic despair. The stark contrast between the German currency and the single American Dollar bill held by one of the boys highlights the drastic devaluation that occurred during this tumultuous period. As inflation soared uncontrollably, thousands upon thousands of Deutschmarks became virtually worthless compared to even a humble dollar bill. The expressions on the children's faces speak volumes about their understanding of this dire situation. Their innocent gaze reflects both curiosity and confusion as they grapple with an economic crisis that has left them surrounded by stacks of seemingly meaningless money. This photograph not only serves as a historical document but also provides us with a glimpse into German culture at that time – a society grappling with recession and struggling to come to terms with its recent past. Through their young eyes, we witness firsthand how hyperinflation impacted every aspect of life for ordinary people in post-World War I Germany.
