31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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, taken at the Isle of Man in 1938, British racing driver R.J. Seaman skillfully navigates a Delage Type S7 racing car around the winding and challenging circuit. The Delage, a sleek and powerful automobile, roars with determination as it takes the turn, its tires screeching against the pavement. The Isle of Man TT Race, an iconic and prestigious event in the world of motor racing, attracted the best drivers and manufacturers of the time, and this image encapsulates the thrill and excitement of the competition. Frederick Crosby, a renowned motoring photographer of the era, captured this moment of raw speed and skill with impeccable timing and precision. The photograph transports us back to a time when automobiles were synonymous with freedom, innovation, and the spirit of adventure. Seaman, a seasoned racer, had already made a name for himself in the racing world, and his mastery of the Delage car was a testament to his talent and dedication. The Isle of Man circuit, with its steep inclines, sharp turns, and high-speed straights, presented a formidable challenge to both man and machine. Seaman's focus and concentration are evident as he pushes the Delage to its limits, the wind whipping through his hair and the roar of the engine drowning out the sound of the cheering crowd. The photograph is a stunning reminder of the rich history of motor racing and the indomitable spirit of those who dared to defy the odds and push the boundaries of what was possible. This photograph is a must-have for any automobile enthusiast or racing fan, and a testament to the enduring allure of the open road and the thrill of the race. The Delage car driven by R.J. Seaman at the Isle of Man in 1938 is a moment frozen in time, a snapshot of history that continues to inspire and captivate.
