1960s Family Life Fashion Flats Women
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 Historic England Archive showcases a slice of life in Chepstow, Wales during the 1960s. The image captures a block of Easiform flats, an architectural marvel developed by John Laing and Son Ltd in the early 20th century. These pre-cast concrete structures revolutionized construction methods, allowing for efficient and cost-effective building processes. In this particular scene, our attention is drawn to a woman gracefully pushing a pram in the foreground. Her presence adds depth and humanity to the photograph, offering us a glimpse into family life during that era. As she navigates the streets of Chepstow with her little one, we can't help but wonder about their story - perhaps running errands or enjoying some fresh air on a sunny day. The fashion choices of both mother and child reflect the style trends prevalent at that time. The woman's attire exudes elegance and sophistication while still being practical for her daily routine. This snapshot encapsulates not only architectural history but also social history, shedding light on women's roles within society during this period. Through this remarkable print by A© Historic England Archive, we are transported back in time to witness everyday moments that make up our collective past – reminding us of how much has changed yet also how much remains timeless.
