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 1970 French Grand Prix, we witness the intense start of an exhilarating Formula One race. The legendary Belgian driver, Jacky Ickx, takes his position at the front of the grid in his sleek Ferrari 312B. With determination etched on his face, he prepares to unleash the raw power of his machine upon the iconic Clermont-Ferrand circuit. As the lights go out and engines roar to life, Ickx catapults off the line with lightning speed. Leading with confidence, he dominates for a remarkable 14 laps, leaving spectators in awe of his skill and precision. However, fate has other plans as an unexpected engine failure forces him to retire prematurely. This image perfectly encapsulates both triumph and disappointment within motorsport. It captures a fleeting moment when Ickx's mastery overcomes all rivals but also serves as a reminder that even champions can be thwarted by mechanical failures. Louis Rosier's expertly framed shot freezes this dramatic scene in time forever. Every detail is meticulously preserved - from Ickx's determined gaze behind his racing helmet to the blurred background showcasing high-speed action unfolding around him. This extraordinary photograph not only celebrates one man's pursuit of greatness but also immortalizes an unforgettable chapter in Formula One history – where victory slipped through Jacky Ickx's fingers at Clermont-Ferrand on that fateful July day in 1970.
