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
The Hotel Nacional de Cuba stands tall in this vintage photo print, capturing the essence of Havana, Cuba on the 21st of May, 1978. With its grand architecture and lush surroundings, it is a testament to the city's rich history and vibrant culture. Originally opened in 1930, this iconic hotel quickly became a favorite among American tourists seeking an exotic getaway. However, its significance goes beyond just being a luxurious accommodation option. During the tense Cuban missile crisis, which shook the world in October 1962, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara chose this very location as their headquarters to strategize and defend Havana from potential aerial attacks. The image showcases not only the hotel's impressive facade but also highlights the tropical beauty that surrounds it. Palm trees sway gently in the warm Caribbean breeze while adding an extra touch of paradise to this architectural gem. This photograph takes us back to a bygone era - the 1970s - when tourism was flourishing in Cuba despite political tensions with America. It serves as a visual reminder of how buildings can hold stories within their walls and become witnesses to significant historical events. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints' staff, this snapshot invites us to appreciate both architectural marvels and moments frozen in time.
