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 titled "The First Game of Basketball" takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the birth of one of America's most beloved sports. The drawing depicts an indoor gymnasium, where a group of men in athletic attire are engaged in an intense game on a court marked with lines and a basket. In this historic scene, we witness the players running across the court with agility and determination. It is fascinating to observe how different this early version of basketball was compared to its modern counterpart. The absence of dribbling and limited physical contact highlight the evolution that has taken place over time. One cannot help but notice Dr. James Naismith, credited as the inventor of basketball, observing his creation from the sidelines. As an athlete himself, Naismith understood the importance of physical education and sought to create a new sport that would engage both mind and body. The image captures not only a significant moment in American sports history but also showcases how far basketball has come since its humble beginnings at turn-of-the-century gyms like this one. This artwork serves as a reminder that even great achievements start small, highlighting Naismith's ingenuity and vision for creating such an enduring game loved by millions around the world today.
