Falklands War Memorial, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Description

Falklands War Memorial, Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Falklands war lasted from April to June 1982, and it remains an extremely touchy and serious subject among Argentines, with the first Monday after April 2, the date of Argentina’s taking of the Islands, recognized as a national holiday.The war came during a period of rapid inflation and other troubles when the Argentine military government, under the leadership of General Leopoldo Galtieri, wanted to distract attention from its failed economic policies. Argentina lost the war and suffered more than 700 casualties, sparking the government collapse that Galtieri was trying to avoid.To most Argentines, having lost the war does not mean that they have no rights to the islands, and diplomatic manoeuvres continue with the ongoing dispute.   The argument is over more than mere sovereignty as oil reserves have been discovered in the area.The monument contains Vietnam Memorial-like stark plaques with lists of names of the Argentines who died.

Our images are printed using premium K3 print technology on Hahnemühle Fine Art Torchon matt photographic paper. The special feature of the light white paper (285 g/m²) is its material: 100% alpha-cellulose defines the characteristically coarse texture. It gives your image a timeless, true-to-the-original charisma with a 3D effect. The hand-made style paper is highly water resistant and the use of premium K3 Epson prints ensures luminous colours and deep blacks for at least 100 years.

Textile print on stretcher frame – a fabric print using modern technology

Your image will be printed on fabric in razor-sharp quality and with brilliant colours and with its subtly textured surface; it transforms any photo into a unique gallery work that is full of life. During the thermal sublimation process, the colours are completely evaporated into the material. The resolution of up to 720 dpi and the enlarged CMYK colour spectrum allows accurate colour reproduction with clear contours. We only use textiles that are free of harmful substances and that have been awarded the internationally recognised Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification. Your image is mounted on the solid wood stretcher frame in its true form using only, high quality stretcher frames made of solid wood. The spruce wood comes from German suppliers and is sourced from sustainable forests. To give the stretcher frames permanent protection from losing shape, we triple reinforce the corners under the textile print using metal braces. When mounting on the stretcher frame we avoid using wedges – the frame is so stable that you won’t need to loosen or tighten it at a later stage and it will arrive ready to hang.
