17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the vibrant streets of Merthyr during a momentous occasion - Victory in Europe (VE) Day on May 1945. As World War II came to an end, this image encapsulates the sheer jubilation and relief that swept through communities across the globe. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a street party bursting with exuberance and camaraderie. The faces of men, women, and children are adorned with beaming smiles as they gather together to celebrate their hard-won victory over tyranny. Flags flutter proudly overhead while bunting drapes across houses, transforming the ordinary into a kaleidoscope of colors. The unknown photographer skillfully captures the essence of unity as people come together to share food, laughter, and stories amidst a backdrop still bearing scars from war. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amid adversity, humanity's spirit prevails.
