Know before you buy
The overall dimensions are 48 inches wide by 48 inches high, with a depth of 1 inch. Please ensure you have a clear wall space of at least 4 feet square to accommodate the piece.
The artwork is protected by a plexiglass front, which is lighter and more shatter-resistant than traditional glass. The print itself is housed within an archival-quality beveled mat to prevent direct contact with the surface.
The frame is constructed from black painted alder wood and is in excellent overall condition. There is a minor break in the wood frame that occurred during its original shipping, but it does not compromise the structural integrity of the piece.
The image is a sepia-tone reproduction printed on synthetic-face paper. This material is chosen for its durability and ability to hold the historical detail of the original film collection.
The piece weighs 26 pounds. Given its large scale and weight, we recommend using heavy-duty wall anchors and professional-grade hanging hardware rated for at least 30 pounds to ensure it is securely mounted.
