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.

How to Escape Winning
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the vibrant world of 18th century horse racing in Britain. Created by renowned artist Thomas Rowlandson, this illustration captures the essence of the era's gambling culture and sporting enthusiasm. In this scene, we witness a thrilling race unfolding on a countryside track. A jockey clad in traditional riding attire skillfully guides his galloping horse towards victory. However, what makes this artwork truly intriguing is its ironic title - "How to Escape Winning". It seems that even in an exhilarating sport like horse racing, there are those who prefer not to win. The print depicts a group of men eagerly observing the race from various vantage points. Among them is our central character, a dapper gambler or punter who appears more interested in the thrill of betting than actually winning. His expression suggests both excitement and apprehension as he watches his chosen steed charging ahead. Rowlandson's intricate lines and shading bring life to every detail - from the muscular form of the horses to the animated gestures of spectators caught up in their own wagers. The monochrome palette adds depth and drama while emphasizing the timelessness of this centuries-old tradition. This print serves as a window into an era when horse racing was not only about competition but also about socializing and indulging one's passion for risk-taking. It reminds us that sometimes it's not just about crossing first over that finish line; it's about embracing all
