17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 takes us back to a pivotal moment in history - the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Captured by the U. S. Air Force, it showcases the launch site of intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs) at Guanajay, Cuba on October 17th. The image provides an aerial view of the construction underway, revealing a scene that is both intriguing and chilling. The presence of these IRBMs signifies the heightened tensions between two superpowers - the United States and Soviet Union - during the Cold War era. In Latin America's Caribbean region, this photograph serves as a stark reminder of how close we came to nuclear warfare. It symbolizes not only Cuba's involvement but also its significance as a pawn in this high-stakes game between global powers. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, we are transported back to that tense period when humanity held its breath. This image captures both fear and fascination with its depiction of military might poised for action. Let us reflect on this powerful visual representation and appreciate the efforts made towards peace since those turbulent times. May it serve as a testament to our collective determination to prevent such conflicts from ever happening again.
