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.

Charlie Wood, 1886 - A Champion Jockey's Legacy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Charles Wood, a renowned British jockey who left an indelible mark on horse racing history. Created by artist Liborio Prosperi in 1886, this chromolithograph from Vanity Fair showcases the charismatic and determined profile of Wood. Born in 1856 and passing away in 1945, Wood's career was nothing short of extraordinary. With an impressive record of 11 Classic victories throughout his illustrious journey, he solidified his status as one of the greatest jockeys of his time. In 1887, he claimed the title of Champion Jockey with an astounding tally of 151 winners. However, it was in 1897 that Wood achieved legendary status by winning the prestigious Triple Crown aboard Galtee More. Triumphing at the esteemed races - the 2000 Guineas, Derby, and St Leger - showcased his exceptional skill and cemented his place among sporting icons. Dressed impeccably in traditional jockey attire with vibrant silks adorning him against a backdrop reminiscent of Victorian England; this caricature-like portrayal encapsulates both Wood's sporting prowess and unique personality. His confident gaze is complemented by a whip held firmly in hand while seated atop a saddle. Liborio Prosperi masterfully brings to life this snapshot from history through vivid colors and intricate details. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Charles Wood's enduring legacy as
