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
This photograph captures James Trainer, a Welsh-born footballing legend of the late 19th century. Born in 1863, Trainer's impressive career spanned over a decade and saw him play for several prominent English clubs, as well as representing Wales on the international stage. Trainer's football journey began with Wrexham, a Welsh team based in North Wales. He later joined Great Lever, a local team from Bolton, before making a significant impact at Bolton Wanderers, one of the most successful clubs in English football history. Trainer's exceptional goalkeeping skills earned him a move to Preston North End, where he helped the team secure the Football League Championship title in the 1894-95 season. This photograph, taken in the 1890s, shows Trainer in his prime. Dressed in the traditional attire of the era, he wears high-waisted trousers and a long-sleeved shirt, both adorned with the distinctive badges of his team. The image exudes an air of confidence and determination, reflecting Trainer's reputation as a formidable shot-stopper and a key figure in the early development of football in both England and Wales. Trainer's impact on the game extended beyond his playing career, as he later became a respected coach and administrator. His contributions to football during the Victorian era cemented his place in the annals of sporting history, making him a true icon for football fans and historians alike.
