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 evocative photograph, Ron Farmer, a legendary figure in Coventry City Football Club's history, poses confidently for the cameras during a photocall in the late 1960s. Farmer, who was born in Coventry in 1935, joined the Sky Blues as a player in 1953 and went on to make over 300 appearances for the club over the next decade. A versatile player, Farmer could operate effectively in various positions across the midfield, and his tenacity, skill, and vision on the pitch earned him the admiration of Coventry City fans. He was a key member of the team that reached the FA Cup Final in 1961, where they faced Manchester City. Although Coventry City lost the match, Farmer's performance was widely praised, and he was named in the FA Cup Team of the Year. After retiring from professional football in 1965, Farmer continued his association with Coventry City as a coach and then manager. He took charge of the team in 1973, leading them to promotion to the First Division in 1974, the club's first top-flight appearance since the 1960s. Farmer's tenure as manager saw Coventry City establish themselves as a force in English football, with the team reaching the FA Cup Final again in 1987 and finishing as runners-up in the League Cup in 1986 and 1987. This photograph captures Farmer in his prime, both as a player and as a leader, and serves as a reminder of his significant contribution to Coventry City Football Club's history. The image is a valuable addition to the club's archives, preserving the memory of a much-loved figure for future generations of fans.
