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 poignant print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 1990s, specifically the 10th of May, 1992. It captures a scene in the Teeside area of England, where public toilets on Flatts Lane stand desolate and closed due to rampant vandalism. The image portrays an exterior view of these once-convenient facilities that served the local community. However, their unfortunate closure is evident through a prominent sign displayed on the entrance. The dilapidated state of these public lavatories serves as a stark reminder of how acts of vandalism can impact essential amenities. The photograph encapsulates both historical significance and social commentary. It sheds light on the challenges faced by communities during this era when maintaining sanitation was crucial for public health. Moreover, it prompts reflection upon societal values and respect for shared spaces. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that even seemingly mundane aspects like public toilets hold great importance within our society. This image serves as a visual testament to resilience amidst adversity while urging us to appreciate communal resources that contribute to our collective well-being.
