The framed version is mounted in a white bevel-cut mat and a natural oak frame with UV-protective glass. I personally sign each photograph on the reverse and include a caption indicating the place and date it was taken.

Story Behind the Photograph
Czernin Palace, Prague, 15 February 2011.
Václav Havel visiting his friend Karel Schwarzenberg. One of the last meetings between two close friends who shared not only a personal bond but also similar views on freedom, democracy and responsibility.
At the time, Karel Schwarzenberg was serving as the Czech Republic's Minister of Foreign Affairs.
A few months later, Václav Havel passed away. He would never learn that his friend would attempt to follow in his footsteps by running for president.
The photograph is a reminder of their long-standing friendship.
