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 captured by Charles Ley, we are transported back to December 1978, where the legendary boxer John Conteh is seen indulging in an unconventional moment of relaxation. With a mischievous grin on his face, Conteh stands confidently in the shower while enjoying a refreshing beer. The juxtaposition of his athletic prowess and carefree demeanor creates an intriguing visual narrative. As one of the most prominent figures in boxing during the 1970s, Conteh's choice to unwind with a beer in such an unexpected setting adds a touch of humor and humanity to his larger-than-life persona. Stripped down both literally and metaphorically, he reminds us that even champions need moments of respite from their intense training regimes. Ley's expert composition captures every detail: from the droplets cascading over Conteh's chiseled physique to the condensation forming on his beverage. This image not only immortalizes a specific moment but also encapsulates an era defined by its distinctive fashion choices and cultural attitudes towards sport. With this photograph, Memory Lane Prints allows us to delve into history through artistry. It serves as a reminder that behind every iconic figure lies layers of complexity and relatability. Whether you're drawn to boxing or simply appreciate candid snapshots frozen in time, this print offers both nostalgia for the past and admiration for those who have left indelible marks on our collective memory.
