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 print captures the Minehead Hobby Horse in all its glory, as it leads the opening procession of Sidmouth Folk Week in 2005. This traditional English folk custom dates back centuries and is a beloved part of Somerset's cultural history.
The horse itself is a striking sight, made from painted hessian and cloth strips, with a mysterious painted mask face that adds to its enigmatic charm. As it parades through the streets, spectators are transported back in time to an era when such customs were commonplace.
The Minehead Hobby Horse is not just a piece of historical folklore - it represents the enduring spirit of England's rich cultural heritage. Its presence at events like Sidmouth Folk Week serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these traditions for future generations to enjoy.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power of tradition and how it connects us to our past. The intricate details of the horse's design speak volumes about the craftsmanship and dedication that went into creating such a unique piece.
In capturing this moment on film, Rights Managed has given us a glimpse into a world where history comes alive through colorful processions and age-old customs. It is truly a snapshot worth treasuring for years to come.
