1979 Former Prime Minister Platform Railway Station Suitcases Ticket Office
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 captured by John Downing, we are transported back to February 1979, where the enigmatic Sir Alec Douglas Home stands at a railway station platform. Dressed impeccably in his signature suit and tie, he carries his luggage with an air of vagueness that adds intrigue to the scene. As a former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during the early 1960s, Sir Alec's presence alone evokes a sense of nostalgia and historical significance. His gaze seems distant yet contemplative, perhaps lost in thought or reflecting on past achievements. The ticket office behind him serves as a reminder of simpler times when train travel was still a popular mode of transportation. The suitcases he holds symbolize journeys taken and those yet to come – each one potentially holding memories and experiences waiting to be unfolded. Downing's expert composition captures not only Sir Alec but also the atmosphere surrounding him. The soft lighting casts gentle shadows across his face, adding depth and character to this iconic figure from British politics. This print is truly a testament to both Downing's skill as a photographer and Sir Alec Douglas Home's enduring legacy. It invites us into a moment frozen in time – inviting us to ponder upon history while simultaneously sparking our curiosity about what lies beyond that railway station platform.
