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 Moment in Football History - Peter Shilton's Incredible Save
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a historic moment during the Coventry City v Nottingham Forest football match at Highfield Road on 22nd April 1978. The intense game ended in a nail-biting 0-0 draw, but it was one particular moment that stole the show. In the 35th minute of the match, Coventry's Mick Ferguson launched a powerful header towards Nottingham Forest's goal, aiming to secure victory for his team. However, standing tall and ready was none other than legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton. With lightning-fast reflexes and unwavering determination, Shilton leaped into action and made an extraordinary save that forced the ball over the crossbar. Little did anyone know at that time how crucial this save would be for Nottingham Forest. Brian Clough's remarkable side went on to clinch the First Division champions title, thanks in no small part to Shilton's heroics on that fateful day. The significance of this breathtaking save is echoed by former Coventry City goalkeeper Bill Glazier who described it as "one of the greatest saves I have ever seen". Even Mick Ferguson himself admitted, "I thought I had done everything right and it looked a certain goal". This mesmerizing image serves as a reminder of how individual brilliance can shape sporting history. It immortalizes Peter Shilton's incredible athleticism and showcases why he remains an icon in football today.
