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.

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 titled "Glasgow Steamies" takes us back to the bustling Gorbals area of Glasgow in June 1981. The image captures a slice of domestic life, showcasing women diligently engaged in their daily laundry routine at a steamies. Stepping into this scene, one can almost feel the warmth and humidity emanating from the steam-filled room. The photograph offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of these hardworking women as they tackle their laundry tasks with determination and resilience. Their faces tell stories of perseverance amidst challenging circumstances, reflecting the poverty that plagued many households during this era. In an era before washing machines became commonplace, steamies played a vital role in maintaining cleanliness for families who couldn't afford such luxuries. These communal laundries served as social hubs where neighbors would gather to wash clothes while exchanging news and gossip. Through this image, we are transported to a bygone time when handwashing was still prevalent and dry cleaning services were not yet widely accessible. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far society has come in terms of technological advancements within our homes. Memory Lane Prints presents us with an opportunity to reflect on our own privileges while honoring those who worked tirelessly behind closed doors to keep their families clean and cared for. This photograph is more than just a snapshot; it encapsulates an entire chapter of history defined by strength, unity, and unwavering dedication towards creating better lives despite adversity.
