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
This illustration depicts a lively game of football being played by a group of apprentices in the bustling streets of London during the 16th century. The year is approximately 1570, a time when football, with its rudimentary rules and chaotic nature, had become a popular pastime among the populace. Despite being banned by Queen Elizabeth I in 1540 due to its disruptive nature and potential for violence, the game continued to thrive in the shadows. The illustration, titled 'Football in the Streets of London,' is a testament to the enduring spirit of the game. The players, dressed in simple clothing typical of the era, are shown engaged in a fierce contest, with one player poised to kick the ball towards his team's goal. The scene is filled with energy and excitement, as onlookers gather to witness the action. The illustration, which dates back to 1910, is an important historical document that provides a glimpse into the past. It offers a fascinating insight into the way football was played during this period, before it evolved into the more structured and regulated sport we know today. The image also serves as a reminder of the game's rich history and its ability to bring people together, even during times when it was considered a source of controversy. The game of football continued to be played in the streets of London until the time of Oliver Cromwell, when it was once again subjected to regulation and control. This illustration is a valuable reminder of the game's humble beginnings and its enduring appeal, making it a must-have for any football history enthusiast or collector of historical prints.
