Black Hil Glasgow Poverty Scotland 1971
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
This print by William Thornton takes us back to the summer of 1971 in the Blackhill area of Glasgow, Scotland. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a group of children immersed in playful activities, oblivious to the hardships that surrounded them. The image beautifully captures their innocence and resilience amidst an era marked by poverty and social challenges. The scene is filled with youthful energy as these children find joy in simple pleasures. Their laughter echoes through the narrow streets as they engage in games that transcend time - hopscotch, tag, and hide-and-seek. It's a reminder that even within difficult circumstances, childhood can still be a sanctuary where imagination thrives. Glasgow's Blackhill area was known for its tight-knit community spirit during this period. Despite limited resources and economic struggles faced by families living here, there was an undeniable sense of camaraderie among neighbors. This photograph serves as a poignant tribute to those who grew up against all odds but managed to forge lasting bonds amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to an era defined not only by hardship but also by resilience and hope. It stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of these children who found solace and happiness within their close-knit community despite challenging circumstances – reminding us all of the power of human connection even when faced with adversity.
