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 showcases an intriguing advertisement for Cycles Gladiator bicycles, dating back to the early 1900s. The image transports us to a bygone era where transportation was synonymous with elegance and grace. In this snapshot of history, we witness the fusion of artistry, industry, and sport. The focal point of the photograph is a horse racing scene that exudes energy and speed. A skilled rider atop a magnificent steed races alongside a cyclist on one of these revolutionary bicycles. This juxtaposition between animal power and human ingenuity captures the essence of progress in transport during that time. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of rural France, this advertisement embodies both tradition and modernity. The vibrant colors adorning the riders' costumes add an element of excitement to the composition while emphasizing their connection to Belle Époque fashion trends. As we delve into this visual treasure trove from over a century ago, it becomes evident that this poster not only promotes cycles but also encapsulates an entire concept – one that celebrates competition, innovation, and freedom on wheels. It serves as a testament to how advertising has always played an integral role in shaping our perception of products throughout history. Preserved by The Print Collector's collection29 at Heritage Images, this remarkable piece offers us glimpses into life during the late 19th century when cycling became more than just a means of transportation; it evolved into an exhilarating sport embraced by individuals seeking adventure on two wheels.
