Point101 was asked by Proud Galleries to produce all the Giclee prints for its current exhibition 1996 : The Glory Days. We were delighted to take up the challenge and printed a total of 30 images; four 40 x 30″ and twenty six 20 x 24″. They were all in their native black and white except for the iconic image of Bobby Moore holding up the world cup trophy (shown below).

The images were supplied by the Mirrorpix archive and show a documentary of England’s greatest footballing year. This is an exclusive exhibition that has never been shown before and the photographs give a nostalgic peek into the life and times of that great football squad and the people involved in the historic events of 1966.

We decided to produce the giclee prints on a professional Illford Pearl paper at 1440 dpi. We tweaked the images to help bring back the authentic film feel of that era – which was the method in which they were produced and everyone was very happy with the results!

After we delivered the images to Proud, they were then captioned, embossed and framed for the exhibition.

The exhibition is on at Proud Camden for most of the World Cup; from 9th June to the 18th July. We hope you can make it down and have a proper look for yourself! For more information visit Proud’s exhibition page.
