Framed Photos from Rangers Football Club
Caricature Johansson
Bob began sketching soccer stories over fifty years ago, for Fleetway Comics
in London and occasionally for Scottish Publishers DC Thomson. Bob has
been drawing picture-strips and caricatures of footballers ever since!
Now living on the Sussex Coast, he tells his wife he has retired, but secretly
still draws match cartoons at Brighton and Hove Albion.
He has recently done comic-strip histories in book form of several of the
bigger English clubs, and would love to do a similar one of Rangers, his
favourite Scottish team. Bob follows Preston North End from afar
Rangers Football Club is a Scottish professional football club based in the Govan district of Glasgow

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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.
