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 titled "Plenty of women on the shop floor but few on the official's platform" takes us back to a significant moment in history, specifically January 22nd, 1981. The image captures a meeting held at Tate and Lyle in Liverpool during the vibrant era of the 1980s. It sheds light on an important issue prevalent in many industries during that time – gender disparity. The photograph portrays a stark contrast between the number of women present on the bustling shop floor and their underrepresentation among those occupying positions of authority on the officials' platform. This visual juxtaposition serves as a powerful reminder of how traditional gender roles were deeply ingrained within business structures, often limiting opportunities for female employees to ascend into leadership roles. Moreover, this thought-provoking image hints at broader themes such as employment challenges faced by women and factory closures that plagued numerous communities throughout this period. It encapsulates both resilience and determination exhibited by working-class individuals striving for equal representation within their workplaces. While not directly mentioning commercial use or specific companies involved, this poignant snapshot invites viewers to reflect upon societal progress made since then while acknowledging ongoing efforts towards achieving gender equality in today's workforce. Through its historical context and emotive composition, this Memory Lane Prints print offers an opportunity to engage with our past struggles while inspiring conversations about inclusivity and empowerment in contemporary society.
