Frank Jockey Saddle Whip Wootton
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
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
Frank Wootton, the legendary jockey, is captured in this historic photograph as he skillfully rides his horse during a race in 1909. With a determined look in his eyes and a firm grip on the reins, Wootton expertly guides his mount, leaning forward in the saddle to urge it onward. The power and strength of both horse and rider are on full display, as they surge forward, leaving a trail of dust in their wake. Frank Wootton was one of the most successful jockeys of his time, with a career that spanned over three decades. He began riding professionally in 1898 and retired in 1930, during which time he won an impressive total of 1,672 races. Wootton's talent and dedication to the sport earned him a place in the annals of racing history. This photograph, taken in the early days of the 20th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of horse racing during that era. The jockey's simple yet functional attire, consisting of a tight-fitting jersey, breeches, and boots, is a stark contrast to the elaborate silks and colors worn by modern jockeys. In Wootton's hands, a classic leather whip is held at the ready, a tool that was essential for encouraging horses to run at their best. As we admire this image, we are transported back in time, to an era when horse racing was a simpler, more rugged sport. The connection between jockey and horse was more direct, and the thrill of the race was a pure, unadulterated experience. Frank Wootton's legacy as one of the greatest jockeys in history continues to inspire and captivate racing fans to this day.
