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 powerful photograph captures a historic moment during the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City. American runners Tommie Smith and John Carlos, standing at the center and right respectively, boldly raise their fists in a Black Power salute during the medal ceremonies. Their act of protest against racial inequality and discrimination sent shockwaves throughout the world. On the left side of the photo stands Australian athlete Peter Norman, wearing an OPHR (Olympic Project for Human Rights) badge in solidarity with Smith and Carlos. This unexpected display of unity across nationalities further emphasized the global significance of their message. The raised fists symbolize strength, resilience, and defiance against systemic oppression faced by African Americans not only in America but also around the world. In this single image, we witness athletes using their platform to bring attention to civil rights issues that plagued society during that tumultuous era. The backdrop of Mexico City adds another layer of significance as it was one of Latin America's most vibrant cultural hubs at that time. The protest by Smith and Carlos resonated deeply within Mesoamerica where indigenous populations were fighting for their own rights. Decades later, this photograph remains an iconic representation of courage and activism within sports history. It serves as a reminder that even on grand stages like the Olympics, athletes can use their voices to advocate for change beyond just winning medals.
