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 photograph, titled "AUTO RACE, c1922" captures the thrilling atmosphere of an early automobile race on a curved wooden track near Washington, D. C. The image showcases the excitement and speed of these early races, with a flag man in the foreground signaling the start or end of a race. Taken in 1922 by an American photographer, this photo is a testament to the growing popularity of auto racing during that era. It provides us with a glimpse into the world of entertainment and adrenaline-fueled competition that captivated audiences at the time. The wooden racetrack adds a unique touch to this image, reminding us of how far technology has come since then. In an age where concrete tracks dominate modern racing circuits, this photograph serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when cars raced on more rustic surfaces. As we admire this historic snapshot from nearly a century ago, it's impossible not to feel drawn into the action unfolding before our eyes. The determination etched onto each driver's face reflects their hunger for victory while showcasing their bravery in navigating such treacherous curves. Preserved by the Library of Congress' vast collection, this remarkable piece offers us both historical significance and artistic beauty. It stands as evidence that even back then, auto racing was much more than just another sport—it was an exhilarating display of human skill and daring against all odds.
