Loneliness Railway Strikes Tracks
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 titled "The tracks leading to Paddington Station deserted due to a strike by railway men" we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of 1950s London. The image captures the aftermath of an industrial dispute that left the usually busy railway tracks completely abandoned, echoing with a sense of loneliness and desolation. As our eyes wander along the empty tracks, we can almost hear the echoes of hurried footsteps and distant train whistles that once filled this vibrant transport hub. The absence of people evokes a profound stillness, emphasizing the impact that strikes have on both individuals and society as a whole. This photograph from Memory Lane Prints, sourced from Daily Mirror archives, not only serves as a historical record but also prompts us to reflect on themes such as industrial relations and social unrest. It reminds us how labor disputes can disrupt daily life and leave behind an eerie void in places typically teeming with activity. Through its composition and subject matter, this image encapsulates the resilience of Londoners during challenging times while offering us a glimpse into their struggles for fair working conditions. It stands as a testament to the power wielded by workers united in solidarity - even if it means temporarily transforming familiar scenes into hauntingly beautiful snapshots frozen in time.
