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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at the prestigious Epsom Racecourse during the 1932 Oaks Day meeting. The image features the prominent figures of the Aga Khan III and his son, Prince Aly Khan, both dressed to impress for the social and racing event of the season. The Aga Khan III, the spiritual leader and 48th Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims, was a well-known figure in both the horse racing world and high society. His elegant attire, complete with a top hat adorned with a white feather, exudes an air of sophistication and wealth. His son, Prince Aly Khan, or Ali Khan, was a playboy and a socialite, known for his dashing good looks and love of fast cars and horses. Wearing a similar top hat, but with a more casual and relaxed expression, he stands beside his father, showcasing the striking resemblance between the two. The backdrop of the lush greenery and grandstands of Epsom Racecourse adds to the sense of history and tradition, making this photograph a fascinating glimpse into the past. The Oaks Day meeting was a significant event in the racing calendar, and this image captures the essence of the social and racing scene during that era. This portrait of the Aga Khan III and Prince Aly Khan at Epsom in 1932 is a testament to the rich history of horseracing and the social elite of the time. It provides a unique insight into the lives of these influential figures and the world they inhabited.
