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
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to the thrilling era of motorcycle racing in 1954. The image captures the legendary Graham Walker, a true icon of the sport, as he delivers his exhilarating race report for the BBC from the iconic Grandstand on Glencrutchery Road. Graham Walker's remarkable career spanned far beyond being just a commentator; he was also a celebrated TT winner and an esteemed team manager. Regarded as one of the first great commentators in motorsport history, his voice became synonymous with excitement and passion that resonated with fans worldwide. However, this intriguing photograph reveals that not everyone appreciated Walker's unique style. A telegram featured alongside him serves as evidence that even amidst his success and popularity, there were dissenting voices who did not share their admiration for his commentary. This snapshot encapsulates both sides of fame - adoration and criticism - reminding us that no matter how talented or respected someone may be, they will always have detractors. Yet it is undeniable that Graham Walker left an indelible mark on motorcycle racing through his exceptional skills behind both handlebars and microphone. BikeSport TT Race Pics has masterfully preserved this moment in time when Graham Walker stood at the pinnacle of his career – forever capturing a glimpse into an era where speed met storytelling on Glencrutchery Road during the 1954 TT races.
