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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910s in the historic city of Norwich, showcases the excitement and camaraderie of a 100-yard race. The lush, green grass field stretches out before the participants, dotted with trees that frame the scene perfectly. The air is filled with the anticipation of the upcoming race, as men and women, dressed in their summer best, gather at the starting line. The men, wearing white trousers and pumps, and the women, in elegant dresses and tennis shoes, are a sight to behold. Amongst them are distinguished figures of the clergy, clad in their robes and collars, adding an air of respectability to the event. Their presence suggests that this race may have been an annual community gathering, a tradition cherished by the people of Norfolk. The staff and colleagues, likely from various local businesses, are also present, adding to the diverse mix of participants. The starting gun has yet to be fired, but the tension is palpable as the racers take their places, poised and ready to compete. The 100-yard race was a popular event during this era, providing an opportunity for friendly competition and camaraderie amongst the people of Norwich and beyond. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of sports and community spirit in Norwich during the 1910s.
