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
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1990s, where Tyne and Wear Museums' very own Martin Routledge is seen meticulously polishing up a magnificent steam-powered fire engine. The image captures a moment of passion and dedication as Martin devotes his time to preserving this vintage piece of machinery. The scene exudes a sense of nostalgia, reminding us of simpler times when hobbies and leisure activities were cherished pastimes. With only one man in focus, it highlights the solitary nature of such pursuits - an individual engrossed in their chosen craft. The steam-powered fire engine itself stands as a testament to bygone eras when technology was still evolving. Its age remains unknown, but its presence evokes admiration for the craftsmanship that went into creating such marvels. As Martin carefully tends to every detail with his polishing cloth, we can almost feel the warmth emanating from the steam engine's powerful heart. It serves as a reminder that history should be preserved and celebrated; these relics offer glimpses into our collective heritage. This print beautifully captures not just an object but also the spirit of preservation and appreciation for our industrial past. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come while honoring those who dedicate themselves to keeping history alive through their unwavering commitment.
