Birmingham Elton John 1989 Conservative West Midlands
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 from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant 1980s, specifically January 21st, 1989. The image captures an iconic moment between Watford FC Chairman Elton John and Birmingham MP and former Sports Minister Denis Howell. Both influential figures stand side by side, united in their opposition against the Government's proposed football membership scheme. The atmosphere is electric as they sign a petition together before the highly anticipated match between Birmingham City and Watford at St Andrew's stadium in Birmingham. This powerful display of solidarity showcases the intersection of politics and sport, highlighting how these two worlds can intertwine for a common cause. Elton John, renowned not only for his musical talent but also his passion for football, exudes charisma with his signature flamboyant style. As a beloved musician turned chairman of Watford FC, he uses his platform to advocate for change within the sport he loves. Denis Howell, a prominent Conservative politician representing Birmingham at that time, demonstrates his commitment to supporting local clubs and preserving their autonomy amidst governmental regulations. This photograph serves as a reminder of how individuals from different backgrounds can come together through shared interests and beliefs. It immortalizes an important moment in history when sportsmanship transcended boundaries and united people beyond partisan lines.
