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
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the thrilling Benson & Hedges Gold Cup of 1972. The atmosphere is electric as the crowd eagerly awaits the outcome of this prestigious horse race. Roberto, ridden by the skilled jockey Braulio Baeza, emerges as a true champion in this momentous event. With incredible speed and determination, Roberto gallops towards victory, leaving his competitors trailing behind. As he crosses the finish line with an impressive three-length lead, it becomes clear that Roberto's exceptional talent has secured him a place in horseracing history. Notably, one cannot overlook Brigadier Gerard and his rider Joe Mercer who were considered favorites for this race. Despite their best efforts and undeniable skill, they were unable to match Roberto's sheer power and finesse on that fateful day. The date etched into our memories forever is August 17th, 1972 - a day when horseracing enthusiasts witnessed greatness unfold before their eyes. This image captures not only the intensity of sport but also serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of these magnificent creatures. As we admire this photograph today, let us celebrate not just Benson & Hedges Gold Cup or its commercial implications but rather revel in the raw beauty of horses in motion – symbols of grace and strength intertwined with human ambition and dedication to excellence.
