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

The image showcases the determined and focused expression on Eddy's face as he prepares for Britain's largest track cycling event at Eastway Cycling Track in Stratford. Eddy Merckx is hailed as one of the greatest cyclists of all time, having achieved an astonishing 525 career victories, which remains unmatched by any other professional cyclist to this day. His remarkable accomplishments include winning the prestigious Tour de France - Giro d'Italia double three times in 1970,1972, and 1974. In addition to that feat, he also clinched the Giro d'Italia - Vuelta a España double in 1973.
