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
Alfred Shrubb, affectionately known as "Alfie," is captured in this historic photograph as the undisputed king of long-distance running. With an impressive career spanning over two decades, Shrubb's dominance in the sport is evident from the numerous trophies, cups, medals, medallions, and clocks adorning the shelves behind him. In his prime, Shrubb was nearly unbeatable, claiming victory in all major races between 2,000 yards and 15 miles. His impressive win record exceeded 1,000 races, with only a handful of defeats. These losses typically came at the one-mile distance or in marathons, where his expertise was not as pronounced. Shrubb's legacy in the world of athletics is further emphasized by the various awards and accolades displayed in this image, including lanterns, cups, and cutlery, which were common prizes for long-distance runners during that era. This photograph serves as a testament to Shrubb's historical significance as a champion long-distance runner and his indelible mark on the sport.
