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
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Petrol Station Forecourt, Perry Barr, Birmingham on 11th February 1972. The image captures a scene of both anticipation and frustration as individuals patiently wait in their cars for fuel during an era plagued by energy crises and blackouts. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced during this time, with long queues forming outside petrol stations due to limited oil supplies. As the world grappled with power generation issues and dwindling fuel resources, everyday activities such as refueling one's car became an arduous task. The composition showcases the resilience of those living through this period, highlighting their determination to adapt amidst adversity. Each vehicle represents not just transportation but also symbolizes people's reliance on petrol for their daily lives - be it commuting or running errands. Beyond its historical significance, this image evokes nostalgia for an era when oil was at the forefront of global concerns. It prompts reflection on how society has evolved since then in terms of energy consumption and environmental awareness. With its timeless appeal and powerful narrative, "Petrol Station Forecourt" transports viewers back to a specific moment in time while inviting contemplation about our current relationship with fuel and power generation.
