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
This photograph captures the iconic moment when Leo, the MGM Lion, recorded his famous roar for Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) Studios in 1928. The image transports us back in time to the early days of cinema, when the magic of filmmaking was still a novelty and the roar of Leo became synonymous with the beginning of every MGM movie. Leo, a male African lion, was the official mascot of MGM and graced the opening credits of countless films produced by the studio. But the creation of his iconic roar was no small feat. It took several attempts and the expertise of sound engineer, J.A. Longhini, to capture the perfect roar that would become a trademark of MGM films. The recording session took place at the Radio-Keith-Orpheum (RKO) Studios in New York City. Leo was lured into a recording booth with a female lion and the sound of her roar was used as a trigger to elicit the same roar from Leo. The resulting roar was then layered with various animal sounds and edited to create the final product. This photograph is a testament to the history of filmmaking and the importance of attention to detail in creating a cinematic experience. The image of Leo, with his mane ruffled and his mouth wide open in a fierce roar, is a symbol of the power and excitement that cinema brought to audiences in the late 1920s and beyond. The legacy of Leo and his roar continues to inspire and entertain generations of filmgoers, making this photograph a valuable piece of cinematic history.
