Animal Collie Crime Garden Hero World Cup 1966 Pickles
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 print from 1966, we see Pickles the dog, a remarkable Mixed Breed Collie, basking in his newfound fame as the hero who recovered the missing World Cup. The morning after his triumphant discovery on March 27th, Pickles is captured here playing with a football in the serene garden of his proud owners David and Jeanne Corbett. With an undeniable twinkle in his eyes and an infectious enthusiasm for the game, Pickles showcases his impressive footballing skills. His agile movements and boundless energy demonstrate just how deserving he is of being hailed as a true sporting legend. This snapshot not only immortalizes Pickles' extraordinary contribution to solving one of history's most notorious crimes but also highlights the unbreakable bond between humans and their four-legged companions. It serves as a reminder that even ordinary beings can accomplish extraordinary feats when driven by determination and loyalty.
