Bygones Devon Eighties Nostalgia Not Personality Printers Printing South West 1980
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 early 1980s, capturing a glimpse of the bustling Braddons Hill Road West offices of the Herald in Torquay. The focal point of this nostalgic image is none other than the old linotype machines that were once at the heart of newspaper printing. These magnificent machines, with their intricate mechanisms and clattering keys, were responsible for transforming words into tangible news articles. As we peer into this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported to a bygone era when newspapers were crafted with meticulous care and dedication. The linotype machines stand proudly amidst a sea of activity, surrounded by dedicated printers who skillfully operate them. It's fascinating to witness these craftsmen meticulously arranging metal typefaces before they are pressed onto paper. The atmosphere in this photograph exudes an air of nostalgia as we marvel at the technology that was cutting-edge during its time but has since been replaced by digital advancements. This image serves as a reminder of how far printing techniques have evolved over the years. With its rich history and unmistakable charm, this print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to those hardworking individuals who played an integral role in delivering news to communities across Devon.
