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.

Ancient Roman Athletes Throwing the Discus: A Captivating Glimpse into the Past This evocative image transports us back in time to the grandeur and splendor of Ancient Rome, where the spirit of athletic competition thrived. The photograph, depicting Roman athletes in the act of throwing the discus, is a captivating reminder of the rich historical legacy of sports and games in the ancient world. The discus, a heavy metal disc, was one of the most popular events in the ancient Olympic and other Panhellenic Games. The athletes, shown here in mid-throw, would twist their bodies and hurl the discus with all their might, aiming for the greatest distance. The discus throw was considered a test of strength, power, and skill, and the victors were celebrated as heroes. The athletes in this photograph are dressed in typical Roman attire, including the short chiton and the himation, a cloak draped over one shoulder. Their muscular physiques and focused expressions convey the intense concentration and determination required to excel in this challenging event. The background of the image reveals the grandeur of the Roman amphitheater, with its impressive architecture and intricate details, further emphasizing the importance of athletic competition in ancient Roman society. The image also provides a fascinating glimpse into the training and preparation that went into becoming a successful athlete in ancient Rome. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique and intriguing window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the enduring legacy of ancient Roman athletics and the profound impact it continues to have on modern sports and culture.
