Blitz Cardiff Damage Grangetown Street Air Raid
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 captures a moment frozen in time during the tumultuous era of World War II. Taken in January 1941, it showcases a group of children standing on a Grangetown street in Cardiff, Wales. The innocent faces of these youngsters are filled with anticipation as they contemplate the future playing space that will be created once all the air raid shelters are demolished. In this poignant image, we witness the resilience and optimism of youth amidst the chaos and destruction caused by war. These children, undoubtedly affected by the constant threat of air raids and bombings, find solace in their imagination and dreams for a brighter tomorrow. The backdrop tells its own story - damaged buildings bear witness to past attacks while remnants of an uncertain future loom overhead. Yet, despite these hardships, hope shines through their eyes as they envision a world free from fear and danger. As we delve into this historical snapshot, we are reminded not only of the devastating impact war has on communities but also how it shapes individuals at such tender ages. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that even amid darkness, there is always room for optimism and aspirations to flourish – especially within resilient hearts like those depicted here on this Grangetown street in Cardiff over seven decades ago.
