Busy Commuters Queues Rain Umbrella
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 print captured by Alisdair Macdonald, the bustling streets of London come alive with a dramatic twist. It is November 1976, and after enduring a prolonged drought that gripped the nation, the heavens have finally opened up to relieve parched land and weary souls. As if nature itself rejoices in this long-awaited respite, rain pours down relentlessly on London travellers who find themselves caught off guard. The image portrays a scene of both chaos and camaraderie as commuters navigate through crowded queues at rush hour. Umbrellas are hastily unfurled, providing temporary shelter from the deluge that drenches everyone in sight. The wet pavements reflect shimmering lights from passing buses, adding an ethereal quality to the otherwise mundane street scene. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how weather can shape our daily lives and evoke shared experiences among strangers. It captures not only the physical discomfort caused by sudden rainfall but also showcases resilience amidst adversity. Despite being soaked to their core, these Londoners continue their journey undeterred - a testament to their unwavering spirit. Alisdair Macdonald's snapshot freezes this moment in time when relief washed over drought-stricken lands while simultaneously immersing us into an era defined by its distinctive fashion sense and urban energy. This remarkable piece invites us to ponder upon our own encounters with unexpected showers – those fleeting moments where we find ourselves united under nature's unpredictable whimsy.
