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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from The Northcliffe Collection, we are transported back to the thrilling world of horse racing in the 1980s. The image captures the legendary racehorse Desert Orchid alongside his skilled jockey Richard Dunwoody, moments after their triumphant victory at the King George VI Steeple Chase held at Kempton Park in 1989. The intensity and determination on both Desert Orchid's face and Dunwoody's expression tell a story of sheer focus and unwavering dedication. It is as if time stands still for this dynamic duo, frozen in a moment that encapsulates their undeniable bond and shared passion for the sport. Desert Orchid, known affectionately as "Dessie" was an icon of British horse racing during this era. With his striking grey coat glistening under the sunlit racetrack, he exudes power and grace. This photograph serves as a testament to his extraordinary talent and indomitable spirit. Clive Limpkin's masterful composition not only captures the essence of horseracing but also transports us back to a bygone era when sportsmanship reigned supreme. As spectators, we can almost feel our hearts pounding with anticipation as we witness this historic moment unfold before our eyes. This print is not just a piece of art; it is a window into history – an homage to two remarkable beings who left an indelible mark on horse racing forever.
