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 print from the 1974 Belgian Grand Prix, we witness the unfortunate turn of events for racing legend Jacky Ickx. Behind the wheel of his iconic Lotus 76, Ickx found himself facing a series of setbacks that ultimately forced him to retire from his home race. The image captures the intensity and disappointment etched on his face as he grapples with a catalogue of problems, most notably the loss of brakes. As one of Belgium's most celebrated Formula One drivers, Ickx had high hopes for success in front of his adoring fans at Nivelles-Baulers circuit. However, fate had other plans that day. Despite showcasing incredible skill and determination throughout the race, it became evident that technical issues were conspiring against him. The photograph not only immortalizes a pivotal moment in Ickx's career but also serves as a testament to the unpredictable nature of motorsport. It encapsulates both triumph and despair within its frame - an emblematic reminder that even seasoned professionals like Ickx are subject to unforeseen challenges on their quest for victory. This remarkable image is more than just a snapshot frozen in time; it embodies the essence and spirit of Formula One racing – where perseverance meets adversity head-on. It stands as a poignant reminder that even amidst defeat, true champions rise above setbacks and continue to push boundaries in pursuit of greatness.
