Blackouts Chopping Crisis Energy Firewood Sawing Wood
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 titled "University Students, chopping logs, Cambridge Street, Birmingham, 22nd February 1972" we are transported back to a time of crisis and resilience. The year is the early 1970s when blackouts plagued cities due to an energy crisis. Amidst this challenging period, a group of determined university students can be seen on Cambridge Street in Birmingham. With saws in hand and determination etched on their faces, these young individuals take matters into their own hands by chopping logs for firewood. Their actions symbolize the spirit of unity and resourcefulness that prevailed during those difficult times. As they work together to secure warmth and light for themselves and others around them, they showcase the power of community coming together in the face of adversity. The image captures both physical exertion and intellectual prowess as these students utilize their skills beyond textbooks. It serves as a reminder that education goes beyond classroom walls; it empowers individuals to adapt and find solutions even in unexpected circumstances. Preserved by the Birmingham Post and Mail Archive's Memory Lane Prints collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history while also inspiring reflection on our own ability to overcome challenges collectively. It reminds us that no matter how dire the situation may seem, there is always strength within ourselves and our communities to forge ahead towards brighter days.
