Core04 Horseracing Horses Jockey
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 poignant print captured by NCJ, we witness a bittersweet moment at the Gosforth Park Racecourse in Newcastle. Jockey Geoff Harker fearlessly rides Green Archer in the Comedy Of Errors Novices Hurdle, showcasing his remarkable skill and dedication to the sport of horseracing. However, what makes this image truly heart-wrenching is the black armbands worn by all jockeys participating in the race. These armbands serve as a mark of respect for Jayne Thompson, a talented female jockey who tragically lost her life during another race. What adds an extra layer of sorrow to this already somber occasion is that Jayne was none other than Geoff Harker's girlfriend. The juxtaposition between triumph and tragedy depicted in this photograph encapsulates the complex emotions experienced within the world of horseracing. It serves as a reminder that even amidst moments of glory and achievement, there can be profound loss and grief. This snapshot from 15th November 1986 not only captures an important event in racing history but also evokes deep empathy for those involved. As we reflect upon this powerful image, let us remember both Jayne Thompson's incredible talent on horseback and Geoff Harker's unwavering determination to continue pursuing his passion despite personal tragedy.
