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 evocative photograph captures the spirit of friendly competition during a football match between No. 4 Flying Training School and the 15/19 Kings Royal Hussars, held at RAF Abu Sueir near Ismailia, Egypt on 18th January 1925. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Middle Eastern desert, with the teams locked in a battle for supremacy in the second round of the Sultans Cup. The Training School, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, emerge victorious with a convincing six-goal lead over the Hussars. The players' focus is palpable as they concentrate on the game, oblivious to the cheers and jeers of the spectators gathered behind the goal. The flagpole standing tall in the foreground, adorned with the British and Egyptian flags, serves as a poignant reminder of the colonial era that once ruled this part of the Middle East. The photograph, taken in the 1920s, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Anglo-Egyptian relations and the shared love for sports that transcended cultural boundaries. The image is a testament to the camaraderie and sportsmanship that existed between the British military personnel and the local population during this period.
