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 by Peter Price, we are transported back to the vibrant era of September 1970. The image captures a moment in time that epitomizes the adventurous spirit and carefree nature of youth culture during the 1970s. Set against the backdrop of a bustling motorway, we see a young couple standing on its edge, their outstretched thumbs symbolizing their desire for adventure and exploration. With their long hair flowing freely in the wind and their bell-bottom jeans exuding an unmistakable sense of rebellion, they embody the countercultural movement that defined this transformative decade. The photograph not only freezes this fleeting moment but also encapsulates the essence of an entire generation. It speaks volumes about their yearning for freedom and connection as they navigate through life's highways. Their determination to hitch a ride reflects both resourcefulness and trust in humanity's inherent goodness – qualities often associated with those who came of age during this period. Price's masterful composition allows us to feel like witnesses to history, offering us a glimpse into an era marked by social change and cultural revolution. As we gaze upon this evocative image from Memory Lane Prints, it serves as a reminder that even amidst uncertainty, there is always room for hope, resilience, and shared experiences along life's unpredictable journey.
