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
In this photograph, The Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls (1877-1910) is seen seated in the driver's seat of his powerful 110 H.P. Mors car. The year is 1903, and Rolls, a British engineer and aviator, is beaming with pride as he had recently set a new world record for land speed at Welbeck, reaching an impressive 83 3/4 miles per hour. At the time, Rolls was the proprietor of CS Rolls & Co., a London-based company renowned for selling high-quality cars. In May 1904, Rolls crossed paths with Henry Royce, an accomplished engineer, who had built his first motor car just a year prior. An agreement was soon reached between the two visionaries, with Royce Limited agreeing to manufacture a range of cars exclusively for CS Rolls & Co. These cars would bear the esteemed name Rolls-Royce. Despite his success with Rolls-Royce, Rolls could not resist the allure of speed and the thrill of setting records. His Mors car, a testament to his passion for motoring, is a reminder of his early achievements in the automotive world. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of innovation, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of speed that characterized the early days of the automobile industry.
