60 70 Years Houses And Housing One Senior Woman Only Prefab Shops And Shopping Walking Stick
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 poignant print captured on June 3rd, 1994, an elderly woman takes a moment to pause and reflect in front of the World War Two prefab shop located at the intersection of Corporation Street and Hill Street in Coventry. It is likely that she gazes upon it for what could be the last time, as plans are underway to demolish these historic structures to make way for redevelopment. The image encapsulates the essence of the 1990s, belonging to a bygone era of the 20th century. The architecture of these prefabricated shops stands as a testament to their resilience throughout six or seven decades. As we observe closely, we notice how they have served not only as commercial spaces but also as symbols of community and memory. Accompanied solely by her walking stick, this senior woman embodies strength and wisdom gained through years lived. Her presence adds depth to the photograph's narrative—perhaps she has frequented this corner shop countless times over her lifetime or witnessed significant moments unfold within its walls. Surrounding her are signs advertising ladies' wear and nearly new items—a glimpse into past shopping trends and consumer culture. However, let us not forget that beyond its commercial value lies an emotional connection shared between people like this elderly woman and their local establishments. This print from Memory Lane Prints allows us to appreciate both architectural history and human stories woven within our urban landscapes.
