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 photograph captured by Gerry Armes, we witness a significant moment in the career of Keith Leonard, the Aston Villa striker. It is an image that speaks volumes about dedication, sacrifice, and the bittersweet end to a football journey. Keith Leonard can be seen here hanging up his boots for the last time in the boot room of Aston Villa's dressing room. The date was December 8th, 1976, when he made the heartbreaking decision to retire from the game due to a knee injury. This snapshot freezes time and encapsulates all the emotions that come with bidding farewell to something so deeply cherished. The atmosphere surrounding Keith is somber and serious as he contemplates what lies ahead after leaving behind a sport that has defined him for years. The worn-out football boots resting on their hooks serve as silent witnesses to countless battles fought on pitches across England. This photograph takes us back to an era where football was played with passion and grit; it transports us straight into the heart of 1970s nostalgia. As we gaze upon this archival gem from Memory Lane Prints, we cannot help but feel a sense of sadness mixed with admiration for Keith Leonard's unwavering commitment to his beloved sport. Gerry Armes' skillful capture allows us access into this private moment off-pitch - one filled with reflection and perhaps even uncertainty about what lies beyond retirement. It serves as a timeless reminder that even heroes must eventually hang up their boots but leave behind legacies that will forever echo
