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
Meet Percy the Penguin, a quirky resident of Drayton Manor Park Zoo in Tamworth, Staffs back in September 1971. Known for his independent nature, Percy had a peculiar habit of venturing off on his own. However, the zoo staff always knew where to find him - spending hours inside the gents toilets! This amusing photograph captures Percy's unique fascination with public urinals and toilets. Standing tall amidst the porcelain fixtures, he seems perfectly at ease in this unexpected setting. Perhaps it was the cool tiles or simply an affinity for human facilities that drew him here. Percy's antics brought laughter and joy to both visitors and staff alike. His presence added an element of surprise and amusement to daily routines at Drayton Manor Park Zoo. This snapshot from 1971 showcases not only Percy's mischievous character but also highlights the lighter side of life within a zoo environment. Photographer Brian Randle has expertly captured this comical moment, immortalizing Percy's escapades forever through Memory Lane Prints. As we look back on this image today, we are reminded of how even our animal friends can have their own quirks and preferences.
