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
This print takes us back to the Queens West Shopping Centre in Cardiff City Centre, Wales, on a quiet day in May 1996. The image captures a scene that raises concerns about the future of this once bustling shopping hub. As we gaze upon the photograph, we can't help but notice the sparsely populated and underused space. The Queen Street location was known for its vibrant atmosphere and lively crowds during its prime years. However, as time passed, it seems that foot traffic dwindled within these walls. The image showcases an interior view of the centre, revealing empty storefronts and unoccupied spaces. Looking at this snapshot from the 1990s reminds us of how commercial landscapes evolve over time. It serves as a reminder that even thriving establishments can face challenges and changes throughout their existence. Although this particular moment captured by Western Mail Archive may depict a quieter period for Queens West Shopping Centre, it also sparks curiosity about what lies ahead for this iconic landmark in Cardiff's cityscape. Will it regain its former glory or adapt to new trends? Only time will tell. As we reflect on this photograph without mentioning any specific commercial use or company associated with it, we are left pondering the ebb and flow of urban life and how places like Queens West shape our memories of cities past.
