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 print captures the exhilarating moment of the finish line at the 80 meters hurdles event during the 1948 Olympic Games held at Wembley Stadium. Fanny Blankers Koen, a remarkable Dutch housewife turned athlete, emerged victorious in this intense race, securing her place in history as one of the greatest female athletes of all time. With sheer determination and incredible skill, Fanny not only won this particular race but also went on to claim four gold medals at the London Olympics. Her exceptional performance included victories in the 100 meters, 200 meters, 80 meters hurdles, and even as part of the Netherlands' triumphant 4x100 relay team. In this iconic image frozen in time from that historic day, we witness Fanny's unwavering focus as she crosses the finish line ahead of Maureen Gardner from Great Britain who secured second place and Shirley Strickland from Australia who finished third. The intensity and passion displayed by these extraordinary women exemplify their dedication to their craft and inspire generations to come. As we delve into our memory lane through this remarkable photograph captured by McNeill for Sunday Pictorial, it serves as a powerful reminder of how sports can transcend boundaries and empower individuals to achieve greatness against all odds.
