Ascot Case Enclosure Privileged Racegoers Trouble 1895 Upper
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 evocative photograph captures the grandeur and exclusivity of the Ascot Racecourse in 1895, as privileged racegoers gather in the Enclosure before the highly anticipated Ascot Gold Cup race. Dressed in their finest attire, the upper class socialites enjoy a day of leisure and entertainment, sipping on champagne and placing their bets. The men don top hats and tails, while the women wear elegant gowns and large hats adorned with feathers and flowers. Despite the air of elegance and refinement, the presence of police officers serves as a reminder of the potential for trouble in the crowded and excitable atmosphere of the racecourse. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the social hierarchy of the time, with the privileged class enjoying a day of luxury and indulgence, while the authorities worked to maintain order and ensure the safety of all in attendance. The Ascot Gold Cup, first run in 1862, is one of the most prestigious and historic races in British horse racing. The annual event attracts thousands of spectators, making it an important social occasion as well as a competitive sporting event. This photograph offers a unique and intriguing look into the scenes of the Ascot Enclosure during the late 19th century, providing a window into the past and the rich history of horse racing in Britain.
