23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 poignant print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to April 1989 at Govan Dock in Glasgow. The image captures the indomitable spirit of Simon Weston, a courageous Falklands War casualty who became an emblematic figure of resilience and hope. Simon's story is one of bravery and triumph over adversity. As a victim of the conflict that engulfed the Falkland Islands in the early 1980s, he suffered severe burns that left him with life-altering injuries. However, his unwavering determination to rebuild his life led him on a remarkable journey towards recovery. The photograph showcases Simon's presence amidst the bustling docks, symbolizing his unwavering strength despite enduring unimaginable pain. It serves as a reminder not only of the physical toll war inflicts but also of humanity's capacity for healing and renewal. This powerful image also highlights the crucial role played by medical professionals in Simon's rehabilitation. Plastic surgery became instrumental in restoring both form and function to his ravaged face, allowing him to regain confidence and embrace life anew. As we reflect on this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a testament to all those affected by conflicts during that tumultuous era. It reminds us never to forget their sacrifices or underestimate their ability to overcome immense challenges. Memory Lane Prints has captured an iconic moment here – one that encapsulates not just an individual's struggle but also our collective resilience as human beings facing adversity head-on.
