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
This print captures a truly remarkable accident that occurred during a hill climb at Caerphilly, near Cardiff. Taken by an anonymous European photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The scene depicted here was later used as an illustration for the book "The Romance of Motoring" by T. C. Bridges and H. Hessell Tiltman. In this snapshot, we witness the aftermath of a car accident that took place during the hill climb event. The excitement and glamour associated with early automobiles are evident in this historical moment frozen in time. The driver, Mr Raymond Mays, miraculously emerged uninjured from his vehicle after reaching speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. The photograph showcases not only the dangers involved in early motoring but also highlights the resilience and ingenuity of those who dared to venture into this new mode of transport. One can't help but marvel at how such accidents were captured on film back then when photography technology was still evolving. As we gaze upon this intriguing piece of history, it serves as a reminder of how far transportation has come since then. It sparks our curiosity about the journeys taken by these early travelers and their experiences on roads less traveled.
