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 poignant print captured by Colorsport / Colin Elsey, we witness a moment of unity and remembrance in the world of rugby. The image showcases Peter Squires, an esteemed player for the International Rugby Writers XV, as he skillfully passes the ball during the 1977 Sam Doble Memorial Game held at The Reddings in Moseley. The match was not just about showcasing talent on the field; it carried a deeper purpose. It served as a means to raise funds for the grieving family of Sam Doble, an exceptional full back who tragically lost his battle with cancer at only 33 years old. This event brought together a formidable invitation XV team from around Britain to face off against an unbeaten Moseley side. As Squires releases the ball into play, one can almost feel the weight of emotion hanging in the air. Every pass made and every tackle executed becomes more than just moves on a rugby pitch; they become acts of solidarity and support for those left behind after such heart-wrenching loss. This photograph immortalizes not only a game but also serves as a testament to how sport can transcend its boundaries and unite people in times of sorrow. It reminds us that even amidst fierce competition, there is always room for compassion and empathy within our sporting communities.
