Description

Welcome To St Andrews Sign Mounted Print

This print is of the Welcome To St Andrews sign created by the Glasgow-based artist A Sign of Humour, and is a homage to the 1981 film Chariots of Fire. This film tells the true story of two British athletes, Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams, in the run up to the 1924 Olympic Games. One of the most famous scenes from this movie shows a training run along a sandy beach. This was filmed on West Beach in St Andrews, where there is now an annual Chariots of Fire Beach race inspired by the film. This sign plays on the fact that for people of a certain age, it is virtually impossible to run along this beach without humming the iconic soundtrack to this scene created by the musician and composer Vangelis.

The print itself is 7.25 inches by 9 inches (18.5 cm by 23cm), and it comes mounted in a white 1.5 inch (3.5 cm) mount with a total size of 10 inches by 12 inches (25.5 cm by 30.5cm). This print is signed by A Sign of Humour.
