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
1. Title: "A Royal Tradition: McIntosh of Partick Tosses the Caber at the Braemar Gathering, 1909". This evocative photograph captures the spirit of Scotland's rich history and traditions during the annual Braemar Gathering in 1909. The event, held on the first Saturday of September in the picturesque village of Braemar, has been a royal patronage since the reign of Queen Victoria. In this scene, a muscular Highlander named McIntosh of Partick proudly showcases his strength and skill by attempting to toss the caber. The caber, a tree trunk weighing around 120 pounds (54 kilograms), is a classic test of strength in Scottish heavy sports. McIntosh's determined expression and the supportive crowd in kilts and traditional Scottish attire create an atmosphere steeped in history and tradition. The British monarch, represented here by Queen Victoria, has been the patron of the Braemar Royal Highland Society since 1848. This patronage continues to the present day, with the reigning monarch attending the gathering to celebrate Scotland's heritage and culture. The annual Braemar Gathering is a cherished event that showcases the unique customs and sports of Scotland, including the caber toss, the shot put, and the hammer throw. The event's historical significance and connection to the British monarchy make it a must-see destination for visitors and locals alike. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past and the enduring traditions that continue to thrive in Scotland today.
