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
This print takes us back in time to the 23rd of August, 1927, capturing a momentous event - the preparations for the grand opening of the New Greyhound Racing Track at Harringay. The image exudes an air of excitement and anticipation as greyhounds are seen in full action during their trials. The photograph beautifully showcases the grace and agility of these magnificent creatures as they sprint across the track with incredible speed. Every muscle on their sleek bodies is taut, emphasizing their determination to win. The intensity of the race is palpable through this fine action picture. Intriguingly frozen in time, this snapshot offers a glimpse into an era between two world wars when greyhound racing was gaining immense popularity as a sport. It serves as a reminder that even amidst tumultuous times, people sought solace and entertainment through thrilling events like these races. The composition captures not only the athleticism but also highlights elements such as fashion trends from that period; spectators can be seen dressed elegantly in suits and hats while intently following every twist and turn on the track. Between The Wars has skillfully preserved this historical moment through photography, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and cultural significance. This print transports us back nearly a century ago when greyhound racing was at its peak, reminding us of our enduring fascination with sports and our desire for shared experiences that transcend time.
