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 photograph from 1941, we are transported back in time to the heart of Newcastle during World War II. The image captures a pivotal moment at the Newcastle Corporation Cleansing Department as dedicated workers load a lorry with 50 bales of salvaged paper, weighing an impressive three tons. The scene is bustling with activity as two individuals meticulously arrange each bale onto the truck, their determined expressions reflecting the urgency and importance of their task. This act of loading salvaged paper holds great significance during wartime when resources were scarce and every contribution mattered. As war raged on, it was crucial to recycle materials such as paper for re-pulping in mills across the country. These efforts ensured that valuable resources were not wasted but instead repurposed for essential wartime production. The dedication displayed by these workers symbolizes the resilience and unity that defined the home front during World War II. This print from Memory Lane Prints offers us a glimpse into history, reminding us of the sacrifices made by ordinary people who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to support their nation's war effort. It serves as a poignant reminder of how communities came together during challenging times and highlights our shared responsibility to conserve resources even today.
