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.

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 captured by Vladimir Pirogov, the intensity of a traditional Kyrgyz Hunters Festival Salburun is palpable. The image showcases a dramatic moment as a chained wolf sinks its teeth into a brave Kyrgyz wolfhound, both engaged in an exhilarating battle of strength and instinct. Set against the backdrop of Cholpon-Ata, located 250 km east from Bishkek, the capital city of Kyrgyzstan, this snapshot encapsulates the raw power and untamed beauty of nature. The sandy soil beneath them serves as witness to their struggle for dominance. The photograph not only captures the ferocity of this encounter but also highlights the deep-rooted connection between humans and animals in traditional sports. It offers us a glimpse into an ancient practice that has withstood the test of time. As we observe these two majestic creatures locked in combat, it becomes evident that pain and danger are inherent elements within such blood sports. Yet amidst this display of aggression lies an undeniable admiration for wildlife's resilience and adaptability. Pirogov's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every detail - from the sharpness of teeth sinking into flesh to the determination etched on each animal's face. With no human presence visible, we are left solely with our own emotions stirred by witnessing this extraordinary clash between man-made chains and untamed wilderness. This remarkable photograph stands as a testament to Pirogov's creative use of his lens while capturing moments that provoke contemplation about our relationship with nature
