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
This print captures the essence of New Zealand's rich rugby history. Standing proudly at the entrance to Auckland's iconic Eden Park stadium, a magnificent sculpture of Michael Jones pays homage to his remarkable achievement in the inaugural Rugby World Cup. In 1987, Jones etched his name into sporting folklore as he scored the first try for the All Blacks in their opening game of the tournament. Crafted from bronze, this lifelike statue immortalizes Jones' contribution to New Zealand's rugby legacy. With an intense gaze and a powerful stance, it symbolizes not only his individual brilliance but also represents the indomitable spirit of Kiwi rugby. Eden Park itself holds great significance in New Zealand's sporting heritage. As the country's largest stadium and host venue for that historic first Rugby World Cup, it has witnessed countless moments of triumph and heartbreak throughout its storied existence. Photographer Greg Wood expertly captures this fusion of artistry and athleticism through his lens. The image exudes a sense of reverence towards both Michael Jones' incredible feat and Eden Park's revered status within New Zealand sports culture. As we admire this photograph print, let us be reminded not only of one man's extraordinary accomplishment but also celebrate how sport can unite nations and inspire generations.
