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 a cricket-themed menu card design from 1911, created by the talented artist George Hillyard Swinstead. The artwork was specifically produced for a dinner organized by the MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club) in honor of their team's triumphant tour to Australia in 1911-1912. The image depicts a distinguished cricketer, dressed in an elegant jacket or blazer, gesturing with his arm raised as if giving instructions on the field. His regal attire exudes the essence of British sophistication and sportsmanship. Surrounding him are various elements that symbolize the spirit of cricket: a cricket bat leaning against a wall, publications related to imperial cricket, and references to England as well. Swinstead masterfully captures not only the physicality but also the camaraderie and passion associated with this beloved sport. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia, transporting us back to early 20th-century Britain when cricket was more than just a game; it represented national pride and cultural heritage. This remarkable piece serves as both an artistic creation and historical documentation. It immortalizes not only Swinstead's talent but also commemorates an important moment in sporting history – when England's finest cricketers triumphed on foreign soil.
