Platform Pushing Railway Stations Students Stunts World Record Attempt
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 February 1971, we witness an extraordinary sight that perfectly captures the chaos and camaraderie of rush hour on a suburban railway line. Sixty-five students from University College, London have crammed themselves into one tiny railway compartment, pushing the limits of human endurance and personal space. It's as if they are attempting to break a world record for the most people squeezed into such a confined space. The image showcases both men and women united in their determination to emphasize a point for a documentary being made specifically for commuters. Their audacious stunt not only highlights the daily struggles faced by countless individuals during peak hours but also serves as a testament to their creativity and willingness to go above and beyond. As we peer into this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the palpable energy emanating from these brave souls. The platform is teeming with crowds eagerly observing this daring feat unfold before their eyes. The sheer determination etched on each face reflects their commitment to making an impact through unconventional means. This photograph transports us back to the bustling atmosphere of 1970s transportation hubs, where every inch mattered when it came to accommodating weary travelers. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaotic routines, there exists room for unity and shared experiences that transcend societal boundaries. Captured by an unknown photographer, this remarkable image stands as a testament to human resilience, teamwork, and our innate ability to find humor even in the most crowded situations life throws at us.
