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 Northcliffe Collection, we are transported back to the vibrant boxing scene of 1960s Paris. Former Boxer Joe Louis, a legendary figure in the sport, is captured at the renowned Pigalle boxing club. Standing beside him is young prospect Billy Gray from Walsall, their contrasting figures symbolizing the passing of the torch between generations. The image exudes an air of anticipation and camaraderie as these two boxers share a moment that would undoubtedly shape their careers. Joe Louis, with his imposing presence and wealth of experience, appears to be imparting wisdom onto his eager protégé. The intensity in their eyes reflects both determination and respect for one another. The vintage aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this photograph, reminding us of an era when boxing was not only about physical prowess but also about character development and mentorship. It serves as a reminder that even great champions like Joe Louis were once young hopefuls themselves. This snapshot freezes a fleeting yet significant moment in sports history – one where past meets future on hallowed ground. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece by Pat Larkin, we cannot help but feel inspired by the dedication and passion radiating from these two individuals who have dedicated their lives to the noble art of boxing.
