1970 Banner Corner Doom Hyde Placard Speakers
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
Scene at Speakers Corner, Hyde Park, London (circa 1970) - The End Is At Hand Speakers Corner in Hyde Park, London, has been a place of open-air debate and free speech since the 19th century. In this photograph from the 1970s, a crowd gathers around a man holding a placard with the ominous message, "The End Is At Hand." The scene is a microcosm of the diverse and often contentious political and social discourse that has long characterized Speakers Corner. The man with the placard stands confidently, his message drawing the attention of those around him. Some in the crowd appear intrigued, while others seem skeptical or dismissive. A few men in the background engage in their own animated conversation, while a woman in the foreground looks on with a critical expression. The banner held by the man at the center of the scene is a stark reminder of the apocalyptic beliefs and predictions that have been a part of Speakers Corner's history. From doomsday prophets to political radicals, the corner has long been a platform for voices that challenge the status quo. Despite the often controversial nature of the speakers and the messages they deliver, Speakers Corner remains an essential part of London's cultural landscape. It is a testament to the power of free speech and the importance of open dialogue in a democratic society. This photograph captures a moment in time when that tradition was very much alive, with the potential for both enlightenment and controversy just a placard away.
