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
In this print titled "The ghost of Washington's past - pit gear rises from the new growth of the town" we are transported back to the 31st of March, 1973. The image captures a mesmerizing juxtaposition between two eras in Washington, Tyne and Wear. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are immediately drawn to the remnants of an industrial era long gone – towering pit gears reaching towards the sky. These skeletal structures stand as silent witnesses to a bygone time when industry thrived in this region. They evoke a sense of nostalgia and remind us of the hardworking individuals who once called this place home. Yet, amidst these reminders of yesteryears, signs of progress emerge with vigor. The new growth sprouting from every corner signifies a town on its way to transformation and development. Architecture and buildings now dotting the landscape symbolize hope for a brighter future. This photograph encapsulates not only physical changes but also speaks volumes about resilience and adaptability. It tells a story about how communities can evolve while still honoring their heritage – embracing modernity without forgetting their roots. As we reflect on this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that history is never truly lost; it shapes our present and influences our future endeavors. This stunning piece by Staff from Memory Lane Prints invites us to contemplate both progress and preservation within one frame – an invitation worth accepting with open hearts and curious minds.
