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 iconic print captured during the 1974 British Lions tour to South Africa, we witness the sheer determination and skill of JJ Williams as he passes the ball amidst a fierce tackle by South Africa's Klippies Kritzinger. The intensity of the moment is palpable, with Williams fully focused on executing his move while being supported by his Lions teammates Roger Uttley and Mervyn Davies. The photograph was taken at the Boet Erasmus Stadium in Port Elizabeth, where rugby history was made on that fateful day. It was during the third test match between South Africa and the British Lions when Williams showcased his exceptional abilities as a player. With unwavering courage, he managed to evade Kritzinger's grasp long enough to successfully pass the ball. This image not only captures a pivotal moment in rugby union history but also symbolizes teamwork and camaraderie within sports. The support shown by Uttley and Davies exemplifies their dedication to their teammate's success, highlighting how collaboration can lead to triumph even under immense pressure. Colorsport photographer Colin Elsey expertly immortalized this thrilling scene through his lens, allowing us to relive this remarkable event decades later. This print serves as a testament to both JJ Williams' individual brilliance and the collective spirit of unity that defines rugby union at its finest.
