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 evocative photograph captures the spirit of the 1980s in Havana, Cuba, as an old American car gleams in the sun-soaked streets. The classic automobile, a relic of a bygone era, stands out against the colorful backdrop of faded buildings and lush greenery. The car's gleaming chrome and polished bodywork shine in the light, a testament to the pride and care its owners have taken in maintaining it despite the challenges of daily life in Havana during this time. The 1980s were a period of great change for Cuba, as the country navigated the aftermath of the Soviet Union's withdrawal of economic support. The resulting economic hardships led to a decline in new car imports, leaving many old American cars from the 1950s and 1960s as the primary means of transportation for the Cuban people. These cars, once symbols of luxury and status, became a common sight on the streets of Havana, their distinctive shapes and vibrant colors adding to the city's unique character. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history and cultural significance of these iconic vehicles, which continue to be a source of fascination for visitors to Havana today. The old American car in this image is not just a relic of the past, but a living reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the Cuban people.
