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 titled "Mark Macklow is third generation cobbler at his grandfather's shop in Gateshead" we are transported back to the nostalgic world of craftsmanship and tradition. The image showcases Mark Macklow, a skilled cobbler, diligently working amidst an array of leather, tools, and machinery that fill the workshop. As the third generation to carry on his family's legacy, Mark stands proudly in his role as he meticulously tends to each shoe with care and precision. His hands tell a story of expertise acquired through years of practice and dedication. The worn-out workbench bears witness to countless hours spent perfecting his craft. The atmosphere exudes a sense of timelessness; it could easily be mistaken for a scene from decades past. Yet, this snapshot was taken in the 1990s when occupations like cobbling were slowly fading away due to modernization and mass production. Through Memory Lane Prints' lens, we are reminded not only of the artistry involved in cobbling but also of the importance of preserving our heritage. This photograph serves as a poignant tribute to those who have dedicated their lives to traditional trades while highlighting how these skills continue shaping our cultural landscape. With every stitch sewn by hand and every sole carefully repaired, Mark Macklow carries forward not just his family's legacy but also an entire history woven into each pair of shoes he lovingly restores.
