Count Defeat Middle Weight Referee Ring Knockout

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 photo print, captured by the talented Gerry Armes, we are transported back to the intense atmosphere of a boxing match at the Midlands Sporting Club in Solihull on January 18th, 1978. The image freezes a defining moment in time as Eddie Smith delivers a powerful blow that sends middleweight boxer Roy Gumbs crashing to the canvas. The tension is palpable as the referee begins his count, carefully watching over Gumbs' motionless body. The dimly lit ring adds an air of drama to this scene from decades past. It's a snapshot that encapsulates both the exhilaration and brutality of professional boxing during its golden age. Gumbs' defeat is evident in his unconscious state, while Smith stands triumphantly nearby. This photograph serves as a testament to the physicality and risks involved in this demanding sport. The determination etched on both fighters' faces reveals their unwavering commitment to their craft. Armes expertly captures every detail with precision - from sweat-drenched brows to clenched fists - allowing us to relive this historic moment through our own eyes. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of sporting history, we can't help but be reminded of how fleeting victory can be and how quickly fortunes can change within those ropes. This stunning print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back into an era where raw athleticism collided with unyielding passion inside one square ring – forever preserving an unforgettable moment for all boxing enthusiasts who appreciate the artistry
