Us-Miami Beach-Art Deco-Building-Moon
A waxing crecent moon sets over neon lights on an Art Deco style renovated hotel on Ocean Drive in South Miami Beach, Florida 26 September 2006. The city of Miami Beach has a concentration of over 800 Art Deco buildings all within one square mile. The white- and pastel-colored stucco buildings originally built in the 1920s have in the past two decades been restored to their former splendor. Some of the characteristics of the Art Deco movement in Miami include over-all symmetry, ziggurat (stepped) rooflines, glass block, decorative sculptural panels, eyebrows, round porthole windows, terrazzo floors, curved edges and corners, elements in groups of three and neon lighting used in both exteriors as well as interior spaces. The chamber of commerce for the city reports that some 7, 281, 200 visitors came to South Beach in 2004. AFP PHOTO/Roberto Schmidt / AFP PHOTO / ROBERTO SCHMIDT

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 enchanting ambiance of Miami Beach's Art Deco district. Bathed in the soft glow of a waxing crescent moon, neon lights illuminate an impeccably renovated hotel on Ocean Drive. The building stands as a testament to the city's rich architectural heritage, boasting over 800 Art Deco structures within just one square mile. Originally constructed in the 1920s, these white- and pastel-colored stucco buildings have undergone meticulous restoration over the past two decades, returning them to their former glory. The distinctive characteristics of Miami's Art Deco movement are evident in every detail: from overall symmetry and ziggurat rooflines to glass block accents and decorative sculptural panels. The charm continues inside with features like eyebrows, round porthole windows, terrazzo floors, curved edges and corners - all meticulously preserved or recreated. Neon lighting is not only reserved for exteriors but also graces interior spaces, adding an extra touch of glamour. It comes as no surprise that South Beach attracts millions of visitors each year. In fact, according to the chamber of commerce for Miami Beach, a staggering 7,281,200 people flocked to this vibrant destination in 2004 alone. Through this mesmerizing image captured by Roberto Schmidt for Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported into a world where history meets modernity under the watchful gaze of a serene moonlit sky.
