1951 Boxers Fifties Middle Weight
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 photo print, we witness the legendary Sugar Ray Robinson making his grand entrance into the ring for a historic fight against Randolph Turpin at Earls Court. The year is 1951, and the atmosphere is electric with anticipation. As Robinson confidently strides towards his destiny, one can almost feel the intensity radiating from him. Little did anyone know that this would be a night to remember in British boxing history. Despite Robinson's formidable reputation as an unbeatable force in middleweight boxing, it was Turpin who emerged victorious on points after a grueling battle of skill and determination. With this remarkable triumph, Turpin etched his name in the annals of sports history as the first British fighter to hold the world middleweight title since Bob Fitzsimmons back in 1891. This photograph captures not only two exceptional athletes preparing for combat but also embodies an era defined by resilience and fierce competition. The 1950s were marked by iconic boxers like Sugar Ray Robinson, whose charisma inside and outside of the ring captivated audiences worldwide. As we gaze upon this poignant image from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded of an era when boxing was more than just a sport; it was a symbol of strength, courage, and unyielding determination.
