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.

The Wettest Derby on Record: A Humorous Take on the 1927 Epsom Derby by The Tout The iconic image of "The Wettest Derby on Record" by The Tout, published in 1927, captures the unforgettable scene of the Epsom Derby that year when heavy rain turned the racecourse into a flooded wonderland. The cartoon depicts numerous well-known personalities of the turf, including jockeys, lords, and race enthusiasts, coping with the extreme weather conditions. Among the figures in the print, M. Bearey, the jockey, is shown rowing a horse through the water, while Lord Londonderry, Lord Durham, Lord Glaneley, H. Beasley, C. Smirke, Frank Curzon, Mr A.K. Macomber, Lord Queenborough, Jack Joel, Lord Astor, E.C. Elliott, Sir Abe Bailey, Sol (Solly) Joel, Steve Donoghue, Reg Day, the Aga Khan, Tommy Weston, Lord Carnarvon, Sir Walter Gilbey, Brownie Carslake, Joe Childs, Lord Woolavington, Lord Derby, Jack Hampton, and Lord Lonsdale are all seen battling the elements with umbrellas and rowing boats. The humorous cartoon captures the spirit of the day, with the grandstand underwater, spectators afloat, and horses and riders coping with the unusual conditions. The event, which became known as the "Wettest Derby on Record," is a testament to the enduring love for horse racing and the determination of its enthusiasts, even in the face of adversity.
