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
In this print captured by Frank Barrett/Staff, we are transported back to the 1998 Brit Awards where a moment of unexpected rebellion unfolded. The image showcases an iconic incident involving Chumbawamba guitarist and political activist throwing water at none other than the Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott. The photograph encapsulates the rebellious spirit of the 90s, a decade defined by its counterculture movements and fierce political activism. As one of Britain's most renowned music awards ceremonies, it was not uncommon for artists to use their platform to express their views on social issues. However, this particular act took everyone by surprise. John Prescott, a prominent figure in the Labour Party at that time, found himself at the center of controversy as he became an unwitting target for Chumbawamba's protest against government policies. The image freezes a split second in time when water is hurled towards him, capturing both shock and defiance on his face. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how art and politics can intersect unexpectedly. It immortalizes an audacious act that challenged authority while also reflecting broader sentiments within society during that era. As we look upon this print from Memory Lane Prints today, it sparks nostalgia for a time when musicians were unafraid to use their voices to challenge those in power and ignite conversations about important societal issues
