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 photo print, we are transported back to the 1920s, a golden era for football and iconic players. The image showcases two great players in their prime: W Gillespie, fondly known as Billie Gillespie, and his teammate from Sheffield United. Billie Gillespie was not only an exceptional player but also a revered captain who led the Blades with immense skill and determination between 1923 and 1930. His leadership guided Sheffield United to victory in the prestigious FA Cup of 1925, etching his name into football history. Beyond his domestic success, Gillespie's talents extended to international level as well. Representing Ireland with pride and distinction, he left an indelible mark on the national team during his illustrious career. This remarkable photograph goes beyond showcasing these legendary footballers; it also serves as a testament to the power of advertising during that time period. Here we see Billie Gillespie endorsing Players Navy Cut cigarettes—a common practice in graphic art at that time. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us remember the achievements of these extraordinary athletes who brought joy to fans across England and Ireland alike. Their legacy lives on through moments like these captured by Nottingham City Photos - preserving history one frame at a time.
