Cardiff Help Injured Injury Pitch Rugby Stretcher Swansea Welsh 1997
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 powerful print captured on December 13th, 1997, we witness a moment of both triumph and tragedy during the Cardiff versus Swansea Rugby Match at Arms Park. Gwyn Jones, donning the number 7 jersey, finds himself in the midst of an intense battle on the pitch. However, fate takes a cruel turn as he becomes trapped at the base of a ruck after just 13 minutes into this highly anticipated top-of-the-table clash. As we gaze upon this poignant image frozen in time by Mirrorpix from Memory Lane Prints, our hearts ache for Gwyn Jones who suffered a devastating compression injury to his spinal cord. The severity of his condition is evident as he is stretchered off the ground with utmost care and urgency. Surrounding him are concerned teammates and medical staff ready to provide aid and support. This photograph serves as a reminder of the risks inherent in such physically demanding sports like rugby. It showcases not only the fierce competition between Cardiff and Swansea but also highlights how quickly fortunes can change within seconds. Gwyn's bravery shines through amidst adversity, symbolizing the resilience that defines Welsh rugby players. This snapshot captures not only a sporting event but also encapsulates emotions ranging from hope to despair while reminding us all about the fragility of life itself.
