31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 charming illustration from a cricket match in 1905 captures the humorous exchange between a rather elderly rustic umpire and an irate batsman. The batsman, clearly frustrated by the lack of clarity on his guard position, repeatedly asks the umpire for guidance. However, the rustic umpire's response remains cryptic as he insists that the batsman "can't better it." The comical back-and-forth between the two characters adds a touch of whimsy to this historical scene.
The detailed depiction of the cricket match showcases not only the sport itself but also provides a glimpse into the social dynamics and interactions of that time period. The rustic setting and traditional attire further immerse viewers in this nostalgic moment from sporting history.
As we admire this vintage print, we are reminded of simpler times when sportsmanship and camaraderie were valued above all else. The timeless appeal of cricket is evident in this illustration, which continues to resonate with fans of the game today. Whether you're a cricket enthusiast or simply appreciate historical artwork, this print is sure to bring joy and laughter to your space.
