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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in sporting history - the first ever Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge university boat clubs. Taken on the 10th of June, 1829, by renowned photographer Edward Gooch, this image transports us back to a time when rowing was still in its infancy. The scene is set on the picturesque Thames River, with the Oxford boat gliding gracefully through the water. The determination etched on the faces of these young men is palpable as they push their limits to secure victory for their team. The oars slice through the river's surface, creating ripples that mirror their unwavering focus. In just 14 minutes and 3 seconds, Oxford emerged triumphant from this intense battle of strength and strategy. This triumph marked not only a significant milestone for both universities but also laid the foundation for one of Britain's most cherished annual sporting events. Edward Gooch's masterful composition captures every detail with precision; from each ripple in the water to every muscle strain visible on these athletes' bodies. Through his lens, we witness not only a race but also an embodiment of teamwork, dedication, and fierce competition. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, we are reminded of how sport can transcend generations and continue to inspire greatness even centuries later.
