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
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the intriguing world of the British National Pipe Smoking Championship in May 1975. The image captures a group of competitors engrossed in their craft, puffing on their pipes with utmost concentration and determination. The men featured in the photograph exude an air of sophistication and camaraderie as they indulge in this unusual pastime. With clouds of smoke swirling around them, it is evident that pipe smoking was not merely a habit for these individuals; it was an art form, a skill to be mastered. There is a certain charm and humor present within the frame as well. Perhaps it lies in the juxtaposition between traditional elegance and unconventional behavior or maybe it's simply the sight of grown men passionately competing over who can blow out the most impressive smoke rings. This snapshot from yesteryear serves as both a nostalgic reminder of bygone eras and an invitation to ponder upon our ever-evolving society. It prompts us to reflect on how leisure activities have changed throughout time while reminding us that there will always be unique hobbies that bring people together. With its timeless appeal and fascinating subject matter, this print by Mirrorpix offers viewers an opportunity to step into history and witness firsthand one peculiar facet of British culture during the 1970s – where passion met competition amidst puffs of fragrant tobacco-filled pipes.
