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 the 1981 St. Leger Stakes at Doncaster, we witness a moment of anticipation and excitement in the world of horse racing. The image features Prince Shah Karim Al Husseini, better known as Aga Khan IV, who was the proud owner of the legendary racehorse Shergar. Standing confidently in the parade ring before the race, Prince Aga Khan IV exudes an air of regality and determination. However, fate had other plans for Shergar on that fateful day. Despite being a favorite to win, Shergar suffered a surprising defeat and finished in fourth place - an unexpected outcome for such a renowned champion. Little did anyone know that this would be Shergar's final ever race. Tragically, after his retirement from racing, Shergar fell victim to one of history's most infamous crimes. He was kidnapped by members of the IRA (Irish Republican Army) and vanished without a trace. Despite extensive investigations and international attention surrounding his disappearance, Shergar was never found. This poignant photograph serves as a reminder not only of Prince Aga Khan IV's connection with this remarkable horse but also highlights both triumphs and tragedies within the realm of sportsmanship. It captures an unforgettable moment frozen in time - one that continues to intrigue enthusiasts around the world decades later.
