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
This print titled "Congestion in South London" takes us back to the bustling streets of 1964. Shot specifically for a traffic feature in the Daily Herald, this image encapsulates the chaos and frustration that often accompanied commuting during that era. The scene is set on a bank holiday, as motor cars fill every inch of available space, creating an intricate web of queues and traffic jams. The composition captures the essence of urban congestion with precision - it's as if time has frozen, allowing us to witness this momentary snapshot from history. As we delve into the details, one can't help but marvel at how different things were back then. The vintage vehicles lined up bumper-to-bumper tell their own story about transportation in the 1960s. This photograph serves as a reminder of how far we've come technologically and highlights our progress in managing traffic flow. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this print allows us to step into a bygone era where honking horns and frustrated drivers were part of everyday life. It serves as both a nostalgic trip down memory lane for those who experienced it firsthand and an educational piece for younger generations interested in understanding our past. With its historical significance and artistic appeal, "Congestion in South London" stands as a testament to Davies' skillful eye behind the lens while offering viewers an opportunity to reflect on how much our world has changed since that fateful day in August 1964.
