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 poignant photo print, we witness a bittersweet moment in Formula One history. Jochen Rindt, the Austrian racing legend, stands triumphant on the podium after securing his first victory in the Lotus 72C at the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort on June 21,1970. However, this moment of glory is overshadowed by an unspeakable tragedy that unfolded earlier that day. Rindt's close friend and fellow driver, Piers Courage from Great Britain, lost his life in a fatal accident while driving for de Tomaso. The weight of grief hangs heavy over Rindt's victory as he grapples with both joy and sorrow simultaneously. The image captures Rindt's mixed emotions as he clutches his trophy tightly against his chest. His eyes reflect a complex blend of elation and heartache - celebrating his own achievement while mourning the loss of someone dear to him. This photograph serves as a stark reminder that even amidst triumphs and celebrations within motorsport, tragedy can strike unexpectedly. It immortalizes a significant chapter in Formula One history where victory was tinged with profound sadness. As we gaze upon this powerful image print from Motorsport Images, we are reminded not only of Jochen Rindt's remarkable talent but also of the fragility and unpredictability inherent to this exhilarating sport.
