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 takes us back to a rainy day in London Zoo during the 1950s. The focal point of the image is none other than Percy, the majestic pelican, who stands tall amidst the wet weather scenes. His feathers glisten with raindrops as he gazes into the distance, seemingly unaffected by the downpour. The photographer skillfully captures both the beauty and resilience of nature in this snapshot. Despite being surrounded by gloomy skies and puddles, there is an undeniable charm to Percy's presence. His stoic posture exudes grace and strength, reminding us that even in adverse conditions, life goes on. The date inscribed on this print - March 15th, 1951 - serves as a reminder of how long ago this moment was frozen in time. It transports us to an era when photography was still evolving but already capable of capturing such poignant moments. As we admire this photograph today, taken by staff member Reed on March 2nd, 1951 for Mirrorpix's collection at London Zoo (B1044/4), we are reminded of our connection with nature throughout history. This image encapsulates not only wet weather scenes but also nostalgia for simpler times when people sought solace in observing animals like Percy amidst rain-soaked landscapes. Memory Lane Prints allows us to relive these timeless moments through their carefully curated collection – a window into our past that continues to inspire awe and appreciation for both wildlife and artistry alike.
