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.

Why We Lost: A Humorous Take on the Challenges Facing English Cricketers in Australia by William Heath Robinson, Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans (Date: 1921) This delightful illustration by the renowned British humorist, William Heath Robinson, captures the spirit of friendly rivalry between England and Australia on the cricket field. Entitled "Why We Lost," this print humorously depicts some of the unique challenges that English cricketers faced when touring Down Under. At the heart of the image, an English cricketer, with a forlorn expression, stands in the outfield, his cap askew, as he watches a ball soaring over his head. In the foreground, a kangaroo, with a mischievous grin, leaps towards the scene, poised to knock the ball out of the reach of the hapless English team. A wallaby, in the background, adds to the chaos by launching a boomerang, which is about to strike another player. The Englishman's plight is further compounded by the presence of a large, ominous-looking dingo, lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce. A crocodile, lurking in the water, adds to the sense of danger, as does the venomous snake coiled around a nearby tree. Despite the seemingly insurmountable odds, the English team maintains their sense of humor, as evidenced by the player in the foreground, who is attempting to swat away a fly with his cricket bat. This light-hearted approach to the challenges of cricket in Australia is a testament to the enduring spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie between the two nations. William Heath Robinson's illustration, with its intricate detail and witty commentary, continues to resonate with cricket fans around the world, offering a unique perspective on the rich history of this beloved sport.
