Lions Photo Shoot Photoshoot Rugby Rugby Union 1977
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
Captured in May 1977, this iconic print showcases the Members of the British Lions rugby union team as they gear up for their highly anticipated tour to New Zealand. In a playful twist, these formidable athletes are seen donning nothing but their underwear and proudly holding lion heads, exuding both strength and humor. From left to right, we have Allan Martin, Willie Duggan, Morris Keen, Nigel Horton, and Gordon Brown. Each player's determination is palpable even in this light-hearted moment captured within the studio walls. The image perfectly encapsulates the camaraderie shared among these sportsmen who were about to embark on an arduous journey together. This photograph not only reflects the spirit of rugby but also serves as a testament to the unique bond formed by members of a touring team. It captures a fleeting instant before they would face grueling test matches against New Zealand's finest players.
