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 a historic moment in the world of rugby union - the 1981 Varsity Match between Cambridge University and Oxford University. The intense rivalry between these two prestigious institutions is palpable as they battle it out on the snowy grounds of Twickenham. In this particular frame, Oxfords Derek Wyatt takes center stage, skillfully maneuvering the ball amidst the wintry conditions. Little did anyone know at that time that Wyatt's journey would extend far beyond his rugby days. This talented athlete would later transition into politics, becoming a prominent figure as a Labour Member of Parliament for Sittingbourne and Sheppey from 1997 to 2010. His dedication to public service mirrored his commitment on the rugby field, exemplifying determination and leadership throughout his career. The Colorsport image beautifully encapsulates both athleticism and resilience against nature's elements. It serves as a timeless reminder of how sports can bring people together, transcending boundaries and forging lifelong connections. Whether you're an avid fan or simply appreciate powerful imagery, this photograph transports you back to a pivotal moment in sporting history while shedding light on one individual's remarkable journey beyond athletics.
