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
Roque the Tiger, a majestic creature from Spain, arrives in the UK on his journey to freedom at the Born Free Sanctuary in Headcorn Kent. This powerful image captures Roque's arrival at an airport, where he is seen being transported on a cargo lift. The photograph, taken by Andy Stenning in December 1998, serves as a poignant reminder of the plight faced by animals held captive. In this striking print, Roque's caged presence evokes both sadness and hope. His piercing eyes reflect years of confinement and captivity but also carry a glimmer of anticipation for the new life that awaits him. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the importance of sanctuaries like Born Free that provide refuge for animals who have suffered under human exploitation. The photo encapsulates not only Roque's individual story but also represents countless other wild creatures trapped within cages worldwide. It serves as a call to action against animal cruelty and prompts us to question our role in their suffering. Memory Lane Prints brings forth this historical moment with utmost respect for these magnificent beings. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we are compelled to advocate for change and strive towards creating a world where all animals can roam freely.
