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
Step back in time to the grandeur of The Horse Show in the Agricultural Hall, Islington, captured in this stunning print from 1864 by Mason Jackson. The image offers a glimpse into a bygone era when elegance and sophistication were on full display.
The scene depicts a general view of the interior of the hall during the parade of horses, with spectators eagerly watching as these majestic animals strut their stuff. On this particular day, the Royal box was graced by esteemed guests such as the Duchess of Wellington and the Duchess of Beaufort, adding an air of regality to the event.
With a total of 310 animals on display, including thoroughbred race stallions, hunters, ponies, and more, it's clear that this show was a true showcase of equine excellence. Not only did attendees have the opportunity to admire these magnificent creatures up close, but they also had the chance to purchase them at auction - attracting buyers from near and far.
As you gaze upon this historic photograph, you can almost hear the sounds of hooves clattering against the ground and feel yourself being transported back to a time when horse shows were not just events but experiences filled with excitement and prestige.
