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 December 1971, where two remarkable women, Mrs Dolly Golvy and Mrs Hilda Black, can be seen diligently working on the M4. This snapshot captures a significant moment in time for both industry and gender equality. During the 1970s, when opportunities for women in traditionally male-dominated fields were limited, these two trailblazers fearlessly broke barriers by taking up roles in transport and road repair. With their sleeves rolled up and tools in hand, they epitomize strength and determination as they dig into the task at hand. The image showcases the tireless efforts of these extraordinary women who played an integral part in shaping our modern infrastructure. Their commitment to maintaining our roads is evident as they skillfully handle their spades with precision and expertise. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that progress knows no boundaries. It symbolizes not only the advancements made within the transportation industry but also highlights how far society has come towards achieving gender equality. Through their unwavering dedication to laborious work on this motorway project, Mrs Dolly Golvy and Mrs Hilda Black have become unsung heroes of their time. As we admire this stunning piece of history captured through lens and ink, let us celebrate these inspiring individuals who defied societal norms while leaving an indelible mark on our nation's infrastructure.
