Collection Lorry Refuse Rubbish Street 1970 Refuse Collector
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 "A refuse collector working on the Kings Road, London. 4th December 1970" we are transported back in time to witness a humble scene from the bustling streets of London in the early 1970s. The image captures a moment frozen in history, showcasing an ordinary yet essential job being carried out by a dedicated refuse collector. Amidst the backdrop of vintage buildings and cobblestone streets, this hardworking individual can be seen diligently going about his duties. Clad in traditional work attire, he stands beside a lorry overflowing with rubbish bags, ready to collect and dispose of the city's waste. This photograph serves as a reminder of the vital role played by these unsung heroes who keep our urban spaces clean and habitable. The date etched at the bottom corner further emphasizes that this snapshot was taken on December 4th, 1970 – adding an element of specificity to its historical significance. Through Peter Cook's lens, we gain insight into life during that era; it is as if we are momentarily transported back to witness firsthand how daily tasks were accomplished amidst a different time period. This evocative print from Memory Lane Prints encapsulates not only an important aspect of London's history but also celebrates those individuals whose tireless efforts often go unnoticed.
