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.

An Iconic Encounter - Muhammad Ali and Ken Norton Prepare for Battle
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Monte Fresco OBE, we are transported back to the intense atmosphere of September 22nd, 1976. The image showcases two legendary figures in the world of boxing – Muhammad Ali and Ken Norton – as they undergo a medical examination ahead of their highly anticipated third fight. The photograph not only captures the physicality and determination etched on both fighters' faces but also highlights an intriguing element within Ali's entourage. Holding anti-Ken Norton banners, members of Ali's team demonstrate unwavering support for their champion, fueling the already electric anticipation surrounding this monumental clash. Ali, known for his charismatic personality and quick wit, earned himself various monikers such as "The Louisville Lip" and "The People's Champion". Meanwhile, Norton stood tall as a formidable opponent with his own impressive record. This encounter between two African American boxers represents more than just a sporting event; it symbolizes resilience against racial barriers prevalent during that era. Fresco's expertly captured moment transports us back to a pivotal time in history when these athletes defied societal expectations through their sheer talent and determination. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded once again why Muhammad Ali is hailed as "The Greatest" heavyweight boxer of all time while appreciating the indomitable spirit shared by both fighters inside that ring.
