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 titled "Hundreds of contraband cigarettes have been shredded by HM Customs and Excise" takes us back to the 1990s, a time when smoking was still prevalent in society. In this powerful image, we witness the aftermath of an operation conducted by the diligent officers from Her Majesty's Customs and Excise. The photograph showcases a massive pile of confiscated cigarettes, meticulously shredded into tiny fragments. The sheer volume displayed here is staggering, serving as a stark reminder of the widespread issue surrounding illegal tobacco trade during that era. These once sought-after items now lay destroyed, symbolizing victory over those who sought to profit unlawfully at the expense of public health and government revenue. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, it becomes evident that this image represents more than just a mere act of destruction. It embodies determination and resilience on behalf of law enforcement agencies combating illicit activities within our communities. While refraining from mentioning commercial use or specific companies involved in this particular instance, let us appreciate the efforts made by HM Customs and Excise to safeguard public well-being. This picture serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment towards curbing smuggling operations while protecting citizens from harmful substances. In essence, this evocative print encapsulates an important chapter in history - one where authorities took decisive action against contraband cigarette trafficking during a period marked by societal changes regarding smoking habits.
