17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 takes us back to the bustling construction site at Washington New Town in Tyne and Wear, captured on the 14th of June, 1978. The image showcases a pivotal moment in the development of this growing community as workers diligently build new homes that will soon house families and shape the future. The industry's urgent need for increased activity is palpable in this snapshot from the past. With its vast potential for growth, Washington New Town demands more hands-on deck to meet the rising demand for housing. The sight of dedicated laborers engaged in constructing these dwellings serves as a powerful reminder of their crucial role in driving progress. As we delve into this glimpse of history, it becomes evident that beyond bricks and mortar lies an intricate web connecting jobs, livelihoods, and economic prosperity. Each worker seen here contributes not only to erecting physical structures but also to fostering employment opportunities within their community. This photograph encapsulates an era when new towns were emerging across Britain with ambitious plans for expansion and urban development. It reminds us that behind every building project lies a story of ambition, determination, and collective effort. Memory Lane Prints has expertly preserved this piece of our heritage—a testament to human ingenuity shaping landscapes—and invites us to reflect upon how far we have come since those industrious days four decades ago.
