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 exhilarating moment as jockeys and their horses, including the legendary War Admiral, approach the Starting Post at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York State, USA. The year is 1939, and the atmosphere is electric as the crowd eagerly anticipates the start of the race. Saratoga Race Course, established in 1863, is one of the oldest and most prestigious thoroughbred racing venues in the United States. The historic track, nestled in the picturesque town of Saratoga Springs, has played host to some of the most memorable races in American horse racing history. In this image, the jockeys, dressed in their colorful silks, focus intently on their mounts, preparing for the imminent burst of speed. War Admiral, a chestnut horse with a distinctive white blaze down his face, stands proudly at the front of the pack. The horse, who would go on to win the Triple Crown in 1937, is a testament to the skill and determination of both the jockey and the horse. The Starting Post, a symbol of the beginning of the race and the culmination of weeks or even months of training and preparation, looms large in the background. The tension in the air is palpable as the horses and jockeys jostle for position, poised to burst into a gallop at the sound of the starter's gun. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the rich history and tradition of horse racing in America, and the thrill of the sport that continues to draw crowds to Saratoga Race Course to this day.
