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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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.

Epsom Races - The Betting Post
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the vibrant energy and excitement of a Victorian horse racing event. Painted by James Pollard, this oil on canvas print showcases a moment frozen in time at the Epsom Downs racecourse. In the foreground, we see a bustling crowd of spectators eagerly placing their bets at the betting post. Men in top hats and women adorned in elegant dresses gather around, anxiously awaiting the outcome of their wagers. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as they study their racecards and consult with bookies. The horses themselves are depicted mid-race, thundering past in a blur of speed and power. Their muscular bodies glisten under the sunlight as jockeys skillfully guide them towards victory. It's an exhilarating sight that perfectly encapsulates the thrill of horseracing. Beyond the racetrack, carriages line up along with well-dressed individuals observing from afar. This painting not only portrays a sporting event but also offers glimpses into Victorian society's fascination with equestrian pursuits. Pollard's attention to detail brings this scene to life; every brushstroke captures both movement and emotion effortlessly. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of England's most beloved pastimes – where passion for sport meets vice through gambling. This piece can be found within Yale Center for British Art's prestigious Paul Mellon Collection, showcasing its historical significance and artistic brilliance for all art enthusiasts to appreciate today
