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 "Last brew at Courage, Barclay, Simonds & Co Ltd Brewery, Reading, June 1980" we are transported back to a significant moment in the history of brewing. The image captures the final moments of operation at the iconic Courage Brewery in Reading during the summer of 1980. As our gaze settles on the scene before us, we witness a bittersweet blend of emotions. The bustling factory floor once filled with dedicated workers and towering machinery now stands eerily silent. The air is thick with nostalgia as generations of craftsmanship and tradition come to an end. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into an industry that played a vital role in shaping communities and cultures alike. With its rich hues and intricate details, it serves as a visual time capsule preserving not only the physicality of the brewery but also capturing intangible memories that lingered within those walls. It is impossible to ignore the significance behind this image; it symbolizes more than just another factory closing down. It represents an entire era coming to its inevitable conclusion - an era defined by dedication, innovation, and camaraderie among brewers who poured their hearts into every pint they crafted. This Memory Lane Print from Reading Post allows us to reflect upon how industries evolve over time while paying homage to those who contributed their skills and passion towards creating something truly special.
