31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant era of the 1970s, where New Kings Road in Fulham was home to a bustling betting shop owned by none other than Shirley Anne Baines. The image captures Shirley's undeniable presence as she stands confidently amidst her domain on the 5th of May, 1972.
With its retro charm and timeless appeal, this photograph encapsulates an important aspect of society during that period - gambling. As one woman takes center stage in a male-dominated industry, Shirley breaks barriers and challenges societal norms with her entrepreneurial spirit.
The composition allows us to appreciate the intricate details within the shop itself; rows upon rows of neatly organized bet slips, racing forms strewn across counters, and walls adorned with posters showcasing upcoming sporting events. It is evident that Shirley's dedication to her craft shines through every corner of her establishment.
This image not only speaks volumes about Shirley's determination but also offers a glimpse into the world of sports betting during those times. It serves as a reminder that even in an era when women faced numerous obstacles in business ownership and sport-related industries alike, there were trailblazers like Shirley who defied expectations and made their mark.
Arthur Sidey skillfully captures this moment frozen in time - a testament to his ability to immortalize significant moments from our past. This print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back four decades ago while simultaneously reminding us how far we have come since then.
