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, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1906, documents an exhilarating 8-oar shell race between Harvard and Cambridge Universities on the Charles River in Massachusetts, United States. The image captures the intense concentration and determination of two crewmen from Harvard as they take a brief respite from the competition, huddled together in a quiet, dimly lit room. The room is furnished with a wooden chair and a table, adding an element of contrast between the tranquility of the space and the competitive spirit of the race. The photograph is a testament to the rich educational and athletic traditions of both universities, which have been intertwined since their founding in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Rowing and sculling have been a cherished part of the Harvard-Cambridge rivalry for over a century, with the first recorded race taking place in 1852. The photograph is a significant addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a window into the lives of students during the early 20th century. The image also underscores the importance of education, tradition, and competition in American society, making it a valuable historical artifact that continues to resonate with audiences today.
