60 70 Years Bus Station Buses Double Decker One Senior Woman Only Shops And Shopping
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
The bus station at Broadgate, devoid of shoppers after the Christmas shopping rush. 29th December 1973 captures a nostalgic moment in time, transporting us back to the bustling streets of the 1970s. As we gaze upon this print, we are immediately struck by the absence of people amidst an otherwise vibrant cityscape. The image showcases a double-decker bus parked at the deserted bus station, its doors closed as if waiting for passengers who will never arrive. The once busy terminal now stands eerily quiet and still, with no sign of life except for one senior woman patiently waiting on a bench. Owen and Owen's iconic signage proudly adorns nearby shops that were undoubtedly filled with eager customers just days before. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced world, there are moments when time seems to stand still - like this brief interlude between two major events: Christmas and New Year's Eve. Transportation plays a significant role in connecting communities, but here it symbolizes more than just movement from one place to another; it represents a pause in our daily routines. It invites us to reflect on the passing seasons and appreciate these rare instances when silence envelops familiar spaces. This snapshot from Memory Lane Prints encapsulates both nostalgia for simpler times and curiosity about what lies beyond its frame.
