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.

1. Title: A Thrilling Hurdle Race at Hackney School Sports Day, 1903 This evocative photograph captures the excitement and energy of a hurdle race during the Hackney School Sports Day held in London in June 1903. Organized by the London School Boards, this annual event brought together students from various schools in the Hackney area to participate in a friendly and competitive sports day. The image showcases a group of young boys eagerly tackling a hurdle race, their determined expressions and focused gazes reflecting their commitment to the competition. The hurdles, made of wooden planks, are evenly spaced, creating a clear and fair challenge for the runners. The lush green grass and blue sky in the background add to the idyllic setting of the event. The boys wear simple yet practical uniforms, consisting of shorts and shirts, which allow for ease of movement during the race. Some of the boys have removed their shoes, revealing their bare feet, while others wear socks and shoes. The diverse group of participants demonstrates the inclusive nature of the sports day, encouraging children from all backgrounds to come together and engage in physical activity. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the educational and recreational activities that were part of the lives of London schoolchildren over a century ago. The spirit of camaraderie, sportsmanship, and healthy competition is palpable, making this image a cherished reminder of the enduring importance of education and physical activity in the lives of young people.
