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.

Pacing in the Latest Style: A Thrilling Moment in Harness Racing History (c1893, April 10) This print, depicting a pacing race at a racetrack, showcases the excitement and elegance of harness racing at the turn of the 20th century. The latest style of harness racing, known as pacing, had gained immense popularity during this era, with horses trotting at a faster gait by lifting all four legs off the ground in succession. The image captures the intensity of the race, with the horses and their drivers in a fierce competition. The horses are harnessed to a two-wheeled cart, called a sulky, which is steered by the jockey using reins and voice commands. The horses' powerful strides propel them forward, creating a mesmerizing sight as they race around the oval track. The print's intricate details bring the scene to life, from the textured patterns on the horses' coats to the vibrant colors of their harnesses and the detailed design of the sulkies. The grandstand in the background is filled with spectators, their faces expressing a range of emotions from excitement and anticipation to disappointment and jubilation. The print's historical significance lies in its documentation of a pivotal moment in harness racing history. The shift from trotting to pacing not only changed the way horses raced but also attracted a larger audience, leading to the sport's continued popularity. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the thrill of the race was a shared experience among communities and a source of national pride.
