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
Reviving Nostalgia: An old London Horse Bus finds purpose once again, transporting passengers from Chessington South Station to the zoo. This print captures a moment frozen in time on the 27th of March, 1944 during the tumultuous era of World War II. As soldiers and civilians alike navigated through the challenges of war, this charming horse-drawn omnibus provided a much-needed respite from their daily struggles. Operating originally in Brixton, this historic bus has been lovingly restored and given a new lease of life. Its presence evokes memories of simpler times when horses trotted along cobbled streets and traditions were cherished. The sight of uniformed men watching as families boarded transports us back to an era where camaraderie prevailed amidst adversity. Transportation played a vital role during wartime, connecting communities and offering moments of solace amidst chaos. This photograph encapsulates that spirit perfectly - showcasing not only the resilience but also the determination to preserve normalcy even in times of great uncertainty. Captured by Maclellan for Memory Lane Prints, this image serves as a poignant reminder that history is not just about grand events but also about everyday lives profoundly impacted by global conflicts. It invites us to reflect upon our shared past while celebrating those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep society moving forward.
