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.

Lefty Williams (1893-1959) - A Profile of a Controversial Baseball Player
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the enigmatic figure of Lefty Williams, an American baseball player who left an indelible mark on the sport. Born Claude Preston Williams, he rose to prominence as a talented pitcher for the Chicago White Sox in the early 20th century. However, his career took a dark turn when he became embroiled in the infamous 1919 Black Sox Scandal. In this photograph taken in 1917 at Comiskey Park in Chicago, Illinois, we see Williams donning his White Sox uniform and cap with pride. His intense gaze and determined expression hint at both his skill on the field and the controversy that would later surround him. Williams' involvement in throwing games during the World Series tarnished his legacy forever. As one of eight players banned from Major League Baseball due to their participation in this scandal, he faced public scrutiny and condemnation. Despite being remembered primarily for his connection to one of baseball's darkest chapters, it is important not to overlook Lefty Williams' undeniable talent as a player. This image serves as a reminder of both his athletic prowess and the consequences that can arise when integrity is compromised. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical snapshot as part of their collection, allowing us to reflect upon not only America's love affair with baseball but also its capacity for redemption amidst controversy.
