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
Tom Sayers, Champion of England: A Glimpse into the Life and Battles of a Victorian Era Boxing Sensation Tom Sayers (1826-1865), known as the "British Gladiator," was one of the most celebrated and notorious figures in Victorian era boxing. This photograph print, from the extensive archive of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and battles of this iconic British boxer. Born in Chatham, Kent, Sayers began his boxing career in the early 1840s and quickly rose to fame with his aggressive fighting style and indomitable spirit. He was a formidable opponent in the ring, known for his powerful punches and unyielding determination. Sayers' battles were often brutal and intense, attracting large crowds and generating significant media attention. The photograph captures Tom Sayers in his prime, exuding confidence and strength. His intense gaze and clenched fist convey the raw power and determination that made him a champion. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the physical and mental fortitude required to succeed in the grueling world of Victorian boxing. Sayers' most famous bout took place on March 17, 1860, against the American champion John C. Heenan, in what became known as the "Champion vs. Champion" fight. The highly anticipated match took place at the Oval Cricket Ground in Kennington, London, and attracted an estimated crowd of 20,000 spectators. Despite a valiant effort, Sayers was ultimately defeated, but his performance solidified his status as a national hero and a true champion. This photograph print, with its rich historical context and captivating subject matter, is an essential addition to any collection focused on Victorian era sports, boxing history, or the cultural significance of athletic icons. It offers a unique and intriguing window into the life and battles of Tom Sayers, Champion of England.
