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
This print takes us back to the vibrant and energetic atmosphere of The Mardi Gras, a legendary club that opened its doors to Merseyside teenagers on September 28,1957. Stepping into this iconic venue was like entering a world of pure excitement and youthful exuberance. Adorning the club's walls were mesmerizing Beat City murals created by Liverpool artist Bob Percival, adding an artistic touch to the already pulsating ambiance. The Mardi Gras holds a special place in history as it was used for location shots in a Rank feature film in 1964, solidifying its status as an influential cultural hub. Sadly, the original club met its demise in 1975 but not before hosting some of the most legendary acts of all time. The Beatles, The Big Three, Gerry and the Pacemakers, and Cilla Black are just a few names that graced its stage. In this particular snapshot captured on May 10th, 1959 at The Twist event held at Mardi Gras, we witness a large group of young adults immersed in joyous dancing and entertainment. Their beaming smiles reflect their carefree spirits while they revel in the music-filled night. Amongst them are wallflowers who observe with admiration or perhaps await their turn to join in on the fun. Peter Ralph's remarkable photograph encapsulates not only an era but also youth culture itself during those exhilarating times of post-war Britain. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of
