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.

As he steps onto Centre Court, a young female fan boldly offers her bra to him, symbolizing the intensity of her admiration for the Swedish maestro. The image captures both surprise and amusement on Borg's face as he graciously accepts this unconventional gift. It speaks volumes about his magnetic appeal and rock-star status within the world of tennis during that era. The crowd in attendance can be seen buzzing with excitement, their eyes fixed on this unexpected interaction between idol and devotee. This photograph is a testament to the passion that sports can ignite in fans, transcending traditional boundaries of expression.
