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
Captured in the midst of anticipation and disappointment, this vintage print takes us back to the Wimbledon Tennis Championships on Friday 6th July 1973. The rain-soaked courts may have delayed the Women's Singles Final, but they couldn't dampen the spirits of tennis legends Chris Evert and Billie Jean King. With smiles that hide their frustration, these remarkable athletes wave to their devoted fans from the sidelines. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a moment where determination meets resilience. Both Evert and King had fought tirelessly to reach this pinnacle of success at one of tennis' most prestigious tournaments. However, Mother Nature had other plans for them that day. As spectators eagerly awaited an epic showdown between two fierce competitors, they were left with only glimpses of hope through these fleeting waves from Evert and King. Their unwavering sportsmanship shines through as they gracefully accept nature's intervention while keeping their focus firmly set on conquering the court once conditions improve. This photograph not only captures a significant chapter in Wimbledon history but also serves as a reminder that even amidst setbacks, true champions find solace in smiling through adversity. Monte Fresco skillfully immortalizes this unforgettable moment when rain halted play but failed to extinguish the fiery spirit burning within these extraordinary players.
