Every hundred yards or so down the A3 motorists find themselves being thumbed for a lift
Every hundred yards or so down the A3 motorists find themselves being thumbed for a lift - the goal of hundreds of pop fan hitch hikers is the Isle of Wight, and the A3 is the route to the mammoth pop festival.

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 by Eric Piper, we are transported back to the vibrant and carefree atmosphere of the 1970s. The image captures a moment on the A3 road, where motorists find themselves repeatedly approached by enthusiastic hitchhikers seeking a lift to their ultimate destination - the Isle of Wight pop festival. The scene is filled with an eclectic mix of fashion and style that defined youth culture during this era. Couples and groups of friends can be seen clad in quintessential 1970s attire, showcasing their individuality through bold patterns, flared trousers, and flowing bohemian dresses. The photo exudes a sense of freedom as these young people embark on an adventure fueled by music and camaraderie. As we delve deeper into the image, it becomes evident that this gathering is more than just a simple journey to a festival; it represents a cultural movement characterized by peace, love, and unity. These hitchhikers symbolize the spirit of counterculture that thrived during this time period. Piper's photograph not only captures a specific moment in history but also serves as a reminder of how fashion can express one's identity while simultaneously connecting individuals who share similar values. It immortalizes an era when music festivals were transformative experiences that brought together like-minded souls from all walks of life. This remarkable snapshot allows us to relive the magic and energy surrounding one particular event while celebrating the enduring legacy left behind by those who embraced 1970s youth culture with open arms
