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 photo print, titled "Weighing on the ground, 1844" takes us back to a bygone era of horse racing in Britain. The image captures a moment at the Northampton horse races where a jockey is being weighed before his race. The engraving, originally published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1844, offers us a glimpse into the fashion and customs of nineteenth-century England. In this scene, we see a well-dressed male jockey standing confidently on the scales as he prepares for his upcoming race. His attire reflects the sartorial elegance of Victorian times; he wears traditional clothing complete with a top hat that adds an air of sophistication to his appearance. The atmosphere surrounding him is bustling with activity as people gather around to witness this crucial pre-race ritual. The weighing machine itself stands prominently in the center, serving as both an instrument of measurement and symbolizing the importance placed on accuracy and fairness within sports. Although created by an unknown artist, this print holds historical significance as it provides valuable insights into sporting events during this period. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed over time while also celebrating our enduring fascination with sportsmanship and competition. This remarkable photograph print from Heritage Images allows us to travel back through time and immerse ourselves in the excitement and grandeur of nineteenth-century British horse racing culture.
