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 from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us back to a pivotal moment in history - the Cuban Missile Crisis. The image showcases an aerial view of missile positions strategically placed across Cuba, revealing the tense atmosphere that gripped the world during this critical period. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our minds are filled with questions and reflections about the political tensions that brought nations to the brink of nuclear war. The composition of the photograph is striking, capturing rows upon rows of missiles neatly aligned on Cuban soil. Their menacing presence serves as a stark reminder of how close humanity came to catastrophe during those fateful days in 1962. The meticulous arrangement hints at careful planning and calculated intentions behind these deadly weapons. Intriguingly, this particular image does not belong to any commercial enterprise but rather offers a historical glimpse into one of mankind's most perilous chapters. It invites us to contemplate the fragility of peace and underscores the importance of diplomacy and international cooperation. As we study this photograph further, it becomes evident that it holds immense educational value beyond its aesthetic appeal. It acts as a visual time capsule reminding us never to forget past conflicts while urging future generations towards peaceful resolutions for global challenges. Ultimately, this print encapsulates both an important historical event and serves as a powerful testament to humanity's capacity for both destruction and resilience.
