Blackouts Commuters Crisis Energy Railway Stations Trains
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 power cuts that affected New Street Station, Birmingham on Monday 14th February 1972. The image captures the essence of a crisis unfolding, as commuters are faced with reduced service on their beloved commuter trains due to these unforeseen blackouts. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the frustration and uncertainty etched across the faces of weary passengers. The bustling railway station, typically filled with energy and movement, now stands eerily quiet and dimly lit. The lack of electricity has brought about an unexpected halt to daily routines and disrupted the smooth flow of transportation. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced during this era when energy resources were strained. It sheds light on how power cuts impacted not only individuals but also entire communities reliant on efficient transport systems. As we delve into this historical moment through visual storytelling, it prompts us to reflect upon our own dependence on reliable energy sources today. Through its monochromatic tones reminiscent of 1970s photography, this print transports us back in time while simultaneously reminding us of our shared human experiences. It encapsulates both resilience and vulnerability within its frame - a testament to how crises can shape societies and leave lasting imprints on collective memory.
