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 1971 Formula One World Championship, we witness a moment of disappointment for local racer Dave Charlton. Driving his iconic Brabham BT33, Charlton's dreams of victory were shattered on lap 32 at the South African Grand Prix in Kyalami. The image perfectly captures the essence of the race as Charlton is seen retiring with a broken engine. The intensity and action surrounding Formula One racing are palpable in this snapshot. As one of South Africa's own, Charlton had undoubtedly been hoping to make his mark on home soil. However, fate had other plans as mechanical failure forced him out of contention. The backdrop of Kyalami adds an extra layer of significance to this photograph. Known for its challenging corners and high-speed straights, the circuit has long been revered by drivers worldwide. Its inclusion in this shot serves as a reminder that even experienced racers like Charlton can succumb to unforeseen circumstances. This image not only documents an unfortunate event but also symbolizes the unpredictable nature of motorsport itself. It showcases both triumphs and tribulations that come hand-in-hand with pursuing greatness on the track. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, it reminds us that success in Formula One requires skill, determination, and perhaps most importantly - resilience when faced with setbacks such as engine failures.
