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.

Cruisers Club gather for a thrilling event - The Barstool Grand Prix. Leicester's petrolheads have ingeniously transformed their humble pub barstools into electric-powered racing machines. This remarkable invention combines science and technology with leisurely pursuits, offering a glimpse into what the future may hold for motoring enthusiasts. As these custom-built barstools line up on the starting grid, anticipation fills the air. Each competitor eagerly awaits the green flag to unleash their modified creations onto a makeshift track within this concrete labyrinth. The photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also showcases how human ingenuity can transform everyday objects into vehicles of excitement and competition.
