Busy Congestion Jams Pollution Queues Traffic 1989

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.

Traffic Chaos Engulfs London as Rail Staff Strike Brings City to a Standstill - June 1989". This print by Walker Howard takes us back to the bustling streets of London in the late 1980s. The image captures the aftermath of an all-out strike by rail staff, plunging the city into utter chaos. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a scene filled with frustration and impatience. The streets are jam-packed with cars, creating an intricate web of congestion that stretches as far as the eye can see. Horns blare incessantly, adding to the cacophony that engulfs every corner of this metropolis. Exhaust fumes hang heavily in the air, a poignant reminder of both environmental concerns and commuters' growing exasperation. Queues snake along sidewalks as pedestrians anxiously await their turn to cross roads gridlocked with vehicles. The sheer volume of traffic has transformed what was once a smooth-flowing urban landscape into a chaotic battleground for frustrated drivers. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of how reliant modern cities like London are on efficient transportation systems. It highlights not only the impact such strikes have on everyday life but also raises questions about sustainable alternatives and urban planning. Walker Howard's lens has captured more than just an image; it encapsulates an era defined by its struggle between progress and inconvenience – where cars became symbols both for freedom and entrapment amidst ever-growing pollution levels.
