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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1950s in Lambourn Berkshire. The image features a young boy jockey named Lester Piggott, who would later become a legendary figure in the world of horse racing. Standing beside him is his father Keith Piggott, undoubtedly proud of his son's burgeoning talent. The scene captures an intimate moment between father and son, as they lean against a wooden fence overlooking the racecourse. Lester exudes confidence even at such a tender age, with his hands casually tucked into his pockets and a cigarette delicately held between his fingers - an unexpected sight for someone so young. It serves as a reminder that times were different back then. Keith watches intently as Lester prepares for another exhilarating ride on one of the magnificent horses that surround them. Their shared passion for the sport is palpable through their focused expressions and body language. This photograph not only showcases the early days of Lester Piggott's remarkable career but also highlights the importance of family support in achieving greatness. It immortalizes both father and son during a significant period in their lives when dreams were being realized and futures were being shaped. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but feel inspired by these two figures who embody dedication, determination, and love for their craft.
