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 print by Henry Thomas Alken, titled "Steeplechasing: Three Riders galloping to right, mounted spectators in background" the thrill and energy of a horse race come to life. The scene is set amidst the picturesque English landscape, with rolling hills and lush greenery serving as a backdrop for the exhilarating event. Three jockeys can be seen racing towards the right side of the composition, their horses galloping at full speed. Their determination is palpable as they lean forward, urging their steeds on. The artist's skillful use of graphite and watercolor brings out every detail of muscle tension and movement in both riders and horses. In the distance, mounted spectators eagerly follow the action. They are mere silhouettes against the horizon but add depth to the scene, emphasizing that this thrilling display is not just for those participating but also for those who have gathered to witness it. This artwork from Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection captures not only a moment in time but also an entire atmosphere filled with excitement and anticipation. It celebrates horseracing as a beloved sport that has captivated audiences throughout history. As we gaze upon this masterpiece by Alken, we cannot help but feel transported into a world where speed meets elegance and adrenaline fuels competition. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with these magnificent creatures and our unyielding love for equestrian pursuits.
