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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the historic rugby match between London Highfield and Australia, the Australians' first-ever game in London, held under the innovative floodlights of White City Stadium on the chilly evening of November 22, 1933. This photograph, a rare gem from the archives, transports us back to an era when the sport of rugby was in its prime and innovation was pushing the boundaries. The atmosphere at White City Stadium was electric as the anticipation built for the highly-anticipated encounter between the British and Australian teams. The floodlights, a relatively new addition to the sporting world, cast an ethereal glow over the stadium, allowing the game to continue long after the sun had set. The Australians, fresh off the boat, were determined to make an impact on the international stage, while London Highfield, the proud representatives of English rugby, were eager to defend their home turf. The crowd, a sea of spectators dressed in their finest attire, watched on with bated breath as the teams took to the field. The air was thick with excitement and the scent of freshly-popped popcorn from the nearby vendors. The roar of the crowd grew louder as the match progressed, the tension palpable as each team fought for dominance. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of rugby and the enduring spirit of competition that has made it the beloved sport it is today. It serves as a reminder of the past and the importance of preserving the stories and moments that shape our collective memory. Join us in celebrating this piece of history and the thrilling rugby match that unfolded on that fateful night in November 1933.
