Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Monte Fresco, we are transported back to the 1981 Wimbledon Championships where Swedish tennis legend Bjorn Borg is seen taking a momentary break between games during his intense Men's Singles Semi-Final match against Jimmy Connors on Centre Court. The image beautifully encapsulates the intensity and focus of professional tennis as Borg sits down, catching his breath and mentally preparing for the next set. However, what truly adds an intriguing element to this photograph is the presence of a young ball boy standing in front of Borg. With folded hands and closed eyes, he appears to be deep in prayer or perhaps silently wishing for Borg's victory. This unexpected sight injects a touch of humor into the scene, showcasing the unique dynamics that can unfold within sports events. The nostalgic ambiance created by this snapshot transports us back to an era when Fila ruled supreme in tennis fashion and wooden rackets were still widely used. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed over time while also highlighting timeless aspects such as dedication, skill, and passion that continue to define this beloved sport. This remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints allows us to relive a significant moment in tennis history while capturing both the unusual juxtaposition between Borg and the ball boy praying and our own memories of watching these legendary players battle it out on one of the world's most prestigious stages.
