Drought 1995

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 titled "Sandpipes in Bradford" captured by Spencer in August 1995, we are transported back to a significant moment in history. The image portrays a young boy diligently filling a bucket with water from an outside tap amidst the backdrop of sandpipes. This snapshot encapsulates the harsh reality of a severe water shortage that plagued Bradford during the 1990s. The scarcity of water resources is palpable as we witness the boy's determined effort to collect every precious drop. His innocent face reflects both resilience and concern, mirroring the collective sentiment felt by residents during this challenging period. Through this photograph, Spencer skillfully captures not only a mundane task but also serves as a powerful reminder of our dependence on nature's most vital resource. This image stands as an emblematic representation of how drought can impact communities, forcing them to adapt and find innovative solutions for survival. It serves as a visual testament to human perseverance and resilience when faced with adversity. As we gaze upon this evocative scene frozen in time, let us reflect on the importance of responsible water management and conservation efforts.
