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 evocative black-and-white photograph from the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, the air is thick with anticipation as the race gets underway at the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe in France. The sun has barely risen over the picturesque countryside, casting long shadows across the track, as a sea of spectators gathers around the starting grid. In the foreground, a group of intrepid drivers, dressed in their iconic racing attire, are seen making a mad dash towards their cars. The tension in their faces is palpable as they prepare to embark on the grueling endurance race that lies ahead. The roar of engines can be heard in the distance, signaling the imminent start of the race. The atmosphere at Le Mans in 1966 was unlike any other, with the spirit of competition and camaraderie among the drivers and teams creating an electric energy that could be felt throughout the circuit. The 24-hour race was a true test of man and machine, with drivers pushing themselves and their cars to the limit in a bid to cross the finish line first. This photograph captures the raw essence of the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, a time when motorsport was still in its infancy and the thrill of the race was the only thing that mattered. The image is a testament to the passion and dedication of the drivers, teams, and fans who came together to celebrate the art and science of motorsport at one of the world's most iconic racing events.
