Costumes Fancy Dress Tranny Transvestites
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
In this print from May 1972, we are transported back to a time when gender boundaries were being pushed and celebrated. The image captures the excitement and anticipation as contestants line up for the highly anticipated contest to find the best female impersonator. Men, women, transvestites, all adorned in extravagant fancy dress costumes, stand side by side with an air of confidence and determination. Amongst this diverse group of individuals vying for the coveted title is John Burns, a 21-year-old barman hailing from Blackburn. Positioned at the extreme left of the lineup, little did anyone know that he would emerge victorious as the winner of this groundbreaking competition. The photograph not only showcases the vibrant energy of the era but also serves as a powerful reminder of society's evolving attitudes towards gender expression during that time. It encapsulates a moment where individuals felt empowered to freely express themselves through their chosen alter egos. As we delve into this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, it becomes evident that these brave souls paved the way for future generations to embrace their true selves without fear or judgment. This image stands as a testament to their courage and resilience in breaking down societal barriers while celebrating diversity within our communities.
