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.

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.

This vibrant colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame takes us back to the year 1926, where an extraordinary foot race unfolded for the conquest of a diamantiferous land. In this scene, we witness the sheer determination and competitive spirit of two thousand competitors as they sprint towards their goal. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as men and boys from all walks of life participate in this unusual race. Each competitor runs with fervor, hoping to secure their place by planting a peg adorned with a flag on different lots of land. The colourful flags fluttering in the wind add an element of excitement to this bizarre cross-country competition. This artwork offers a glimpse into the rich sporting culture of South Africa during that era. It showcases not only physical prowess but also highlights the diversity and unity among Africans participating in sports activities.

As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when sport was more than just entertainment; it represented dreams, aspirations, and opportunities for individuals striving for success. "A Unique Race in South Africa" serves as a reminder that even amidst fierce competition, there is beauty in camaraderie and shared experiences found within sporting events across cultures and continents.
