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 Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to November 1984, inside the infamous Parkhurst prison on the Isle of Wight. The image captures a moment in time when a stern-faced prison guard patrols B wing, showcasing the unwavering dedication and vigilance required to maintain law and order within Britain's top security facility. The stark interior of the prison is illuminated by dim overhead lights, casting eerie shadows across rows of cell doors that line both sides of the narrow corridor. Each door stands as a barrier between freedom and confinement, symbolizing the weighty consequences faced by those who have transgressed society's laws. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of an era defined by crime and punishment. It encapsulates not only the physical confines but also the psychological toll experienced by both inmates and guards alike. The guard's presence exudes authority while simultaneously hinting at an underlying sense of empathy for those trapped behind bars. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it prompts us to reflect on our own notions of justice and rehabilitation within society. It encourages us to question whether prisons truly serve their intended purpose or if alternative methods should be explored. Memory Lane Prints has once again provided us with an evocative glimpse into history through this thought-provoking image – one that continues to resonate with contemporary debates surrounding crime, punishment, and our collective pursuit for a safer world.
