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.

Fast Finishers: Colt Helicopters Hovering Over Cheltenham". In this photo print, we are transported back to March 1981, where a pair of the fastest Colts ever to grace the hallowed turf of Cheltenham racecourse take center stage. These magnificent creatures breezed onto the famous Cotswold circuit with a mission - to dry out the soggier parts that threatened to impair the jump season's greatest occasion, The Gold Cup. With course stewards willing to try anything in their quest to ensure optimal conditions for this prestigious event, these unconventional measures were taken. And so it was that helicopters adorned with colt emblems took flight over Cheltenham, hovering gracefully above the racecourse. The sight of these majestic animals soaring through the skies added an unexpected twist to this already thrilling sport. As they flew overhead, their powerful rotor blades stirred up gusts of wind that helped dissipate moisture from rain-soaked grounds below. This unique spectacle captured both racing enthusiasts and casual onlookers alike. It exemplified not only human determination but also our deep-rooted connection with nature and our relentless pursuit of perfection. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, let us remember those daring moments when innovation met tradition on that fateful day in 1981 at Cheltenham racecourse – forever etching itself into horse racing history as one of its most unusual yet memorable chapters.
