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 captured by Stewart Fraser, we are transported back to the thrilling atmosphere of the 1980 Grand National at Aintree. The image freezes a heart-stopping moment as Rubstic, the previous year's victorious horse, takes a dramatic tumble at the infamous Chair obstacle. The intensity of National Hunt Horse Racing is palpable in this shot. Rubstic's fall serves as a stark reminder of both the exhilaration and unpredictability that permeate these races. As spectators hold their breaths, jockeys skillfully navigate their mounts through treacherous jumps and challenging terrain. The composition beautifully captures Rubstic mid-air, his powerful physique momentarily suspended against an expansive backdrop of greenery. The sheer force with which he hits the ground echoes throughout the frame, emphasizing both his vulnerability and resilience in equal measure. Fraser's expert timing immortalizes this pivotal moment in racing history. It reminds us that even champions can face adversity on any given day within this demanding sport. This photograph stands as a testament to the bravery displayed by both horses and riders alike. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Colorsport Images, it invites us to reflect not only on Rubstic's fall but also on our own ability to rise after experiencing setbacks—a poignant metaphor for life itself.
