Man using a telephone box. The red telephone box was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott
Man using a telephone box. The red telephone box was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, and up until the early 1980s was a familiar sight on the streets of the United Kingdom, Malta and Gibraltar, and despite a reduction in their numbers in recent years, red boxes can still be seen in many places. The colour red was chosen to make them easy to spot. April 1975

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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
Captured in April 1975, this nostalgic print showcases a man using a telephone box, an iconic symbol of communication in the 1970s. Designed by the renowned architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the red telephone box was once a common sight on the streets of the United Kingdom, Malta, and Gibraltar. Despite their dwindling numbers in recent years, these vibrant red boxes can still be spotted in various locations today. The choice of color for these telephone boxes was deliberate – bright red made them easily distinguishable amidst bustling cityscapes. Serving as lifelines to connect people across distances, these booths were vital hubs for conversations and connections during an era before mobile phones became commonplace. This image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes memories of simpler times when technology had its limitations. The 'no entry' sign adds an intriguing touch to this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints; it hints at exclusivity or perhaps even secrecy within those walls. Let this photograph transport you back to an era where communication relied on physical connections rather than wireless networks. It serves as a reminder that despite technological advancements over the years, there is something undeniably charming about these classic telephone boxes that continue to hold a special place in our collective memory.
