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
This print captures a moment in history when horse racing enthusiasts gathered around their wireless radios to listen to the Grand National. The audience, filled with excitement and anticipation, is completely engrossed in the broadcast of this prestigious event.
The image transports us back to the early 1930s, a time when radio was the primary source of live entertainment and news. In this era before television, listening to sporting events on the wireless was a popular pastime for families across the nation.
As we observe the diverse group of individuals in the photograph, we can sense their shared passion for horse racing and their eagerness to hear updates on this thrilling race. Their expressions range from intense concentration to pure joy as they hang on every word coming through their radio speakers.
This snapshot not only captures a specific moment in time but also serves as a reminder of how technology has evolved over the years. While today's audiences may watch horse races live on television or online streaming platforms, there is something nostalgic and charming about imagining families huddled around radios together, eagerly awaiting updates from announcers at these historic events.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully preserved this piece of history through this photo print, allowing us to appreciate both the excitement of those listening in decades ago and our own connection to that shared experience.
