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 "Skinhead and Ben Sherman boy. 15th August 1970" we are transported back to the vibrant youth culture of the 1970s. The image captures two friends, one a skinhead and the other sporting a stylish Ben Sherman outfit, waiting at a bus stop on a summer day. The photograph offers us a glimpse into the fashion choices that defined this era. The skinhead's attire showcases their rebellious spirit with their iconic shaved heads, sturdy boots, and braces holding up their trousers. On the other hand, his companion exudes an air of sophistication in his well-tailored Ben Sherman ensemble – an emblematic brand synonymous with British subcultures. Beyond mere fashion statements, this snapshot also reflects social history by encapsulating teenage life during this period. These young individuals represent an entire generation seeking identity and camaraderie through shared style choices. Their friendship is palpable as they patiently wait for public transportation while engaged in conversation or perhaps planning their next adventure. As we gaze upon this evocative image from Memory Lane Prints' collection, it serves as a reminder of how clothing can transcend its utilitarian purpose to become symbols of self-expression and unity within subcultures. It invites us to reflect on our own experiences growing up amidst ever-changing trends while appreciating the timeless bonds forged between friends who navigate these transformative years together.
