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.

Bedworth Pancake Race - A Glimpse into a Time-Honored Tradition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the vibrant streets of Bedworth on the 23rd of February, 1982. The image captures the essence of an annual event deeply rooted in British culture and customs - the beloved Bedworth Pancake Race. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to a world where tradition and community intertwine. The participants, adorned in colorful costumes representative of their heritage, eagerly clutch their frying pans while balancing delicate pancakes. Their faces radiate excitement and determination as they prepare for the exhilarating race ahead. Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, holds great religious significance within Christianity. It marks the last day before Lent begins – a period of fasting and reflection leading up to Easter Sunday. To commemorate this occasion, communities across Britain engage in pancake races that have been passed down through generations. The photograph encapsulates not only the thrill of racing but also showcases how food can bring people together. Spectators line both sides of the street with anticipation etched upon their faces; some even hold plates ready to catch any wayward pancake tossed by these skilled racers. This remarkable image serves as a reminder that traditions like these are vital threads weaving our society's fabric together. They connect us with our past while fostering unity among diverse individuals who share common values and cherished customs. Let this mesmerizing print transport you
