Combined with the Epson pigment based inks, canvases are guaranteed to remain crisp and vibrant for more than 75 years.

The canvases are stretched over a finger jointed, kiln dried Scandinavian pine stretching frame.

The print is ready-mounted into quality mitre cut picture mounts, made from conservation grade ph neutral textured mountboard, complete with fixed acid free backing board. The sizes of the mounted prints are the 'frame rebate sizes' ready for instant mounting into a standard size (ISO 'A' series) readily available picture frame.

Description

It’s the Macau Grand Prix in 2003 and Steve Plater is really leaning on it – literally!

In this breathtaking picture, Stephen Davison has captured Plater making contact with the unforgiving concrete around the tight Macau street circuit, where fortune favours the brave, and the lucky.

As Stephen records in his best-selling book Ragged Edge:

‘Perhaps the best thing about capturing this image in 2003 was Steve Plater’s reaction when I showed it to him in the pits a few minutes later. He stared at it for a few moments in silence, then whopped in jubilation and ran off with my digital camera to show his mechanics! It had been an incredible moment as he plunged into the Solitude Esses just a little too hot and brushed his shoulder along the yellow wall on the exit. You are never sure if you’ve caught the picture: if you see it through the camera it usually means you have missed it…..after I showed him the picture, Steve showed me the yellow paint on his shoulder; we both had our trophies from the day.’

Each canvas has been printed to the highest quality using the latest technology, with archival grade canvas and inks.

The canvas print is available in a variety of sizes - A0 (47”x33”/840mmx1188mm approx), A1 (33”x24”/594mmx840mm approx), A2 (24”x16”/420mmx594mm approx), A3 (16”x12”/297mmx420mm approx) and A4 (8"x12"/210mmx297mm approx).
