23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the thrilling atmosphere of the 1983 Embassy World Snooker Championship. The image captures snooker legend Alex Higgins in a tender moment with his daughter, Lauren, after an intense final match against Steve Davis. The photograph exudes raw emotion as Higgins, known for his fiery temperament on and off the table, reveals a softer side while embracing his young daughter. His face is etched with exhaustion and relief after battling it out in what would become one of snooker's most memorable showdowns. Higgins' charisma and skill on the green baize were legendary, making him a crowd favorite throughout his career. This particular championship was no exception as he faced off against Davis, another formidable player who would go on to dominate the sport in subsequent years. Colorsport expertly captures this poignant moment between father and daughter amidst the backdrop of triumph and defeat. The black-and-white composition adds depth to their connection while emphasizing their contrasting expressions - Higgins' weariness juxtaposed with Lauren's innocence. This print serves as a timeless reminder of not only an iconic sporting event but also showcases the human side of athletes who often endure immense pressure under public scrutiny. It encapsulates both joyous celebration and bittersweet reflection that can be felt by anyone who has witnessed or experienced such moments of personal achievement.
