Football Art: Football Paintings
In post war Britain , from Headingly
to Highbury, from the Arms Park to Ayresome Park, fans
amassed on packed terracing, swaying as one, open to the
elements, as the glorious drama of sport unfolded before
them. Although the memories of those fixtures may have
faded, the programmes on sale that day remain, and have
become a pivotal part of of british Social and sporting
history. Many of the covers are colourful, evocative,
and beautifully illustrated, making them works of art
in their own right.
Two Sizes: We offer two sizes of painting: Large
A1 format (594mm wide x 841mm high), and A2 format (420mm
wide x 594mm high).
Mounted or Rolled?: Most customers buy our ready-mounted
version. This superbly-packaged product will arrive by
courrier in perfect condition, and all you will need to
do is unwrap it and mount it on the wall (wall mounting
options and instructions are described). Another advantage
of our ready-mounted picture is that we use a very high
quality mount. Our mount consists of 6mm Wooden MDF board,
fixed to a wooden 32mm cross-section wooden frame. The
canvas lies therefore on a very strong, solid surface,
making the picture much more robust than one mounted on
a cheaper open lattice frame (which tends to sag over
time, and is susceptible to tearing). Also, the picture
itself then stands about 40mm proud of the wall on which
it is hung, making a very attractive display. We also
offer the canvas "Rolled" without a mounting. The main reason for
offering this is that the picture can be rolled safely
inside a tube and then transported much more efficiently
to customers overseas (however some UK customers also
request just the canvas). If you do just order the canvas,
you will need to take it to a local framer, who can mount it
for you. Instructions for the framer are included with each rolled canvas.

Giclee Reproduction Process: A giclee (zhee-CLAY)
is an individually-produced, high-resolution, high-fidelity
reproduction done on a special large format printer. Giclees
are produced from digital scans of existing artwork, creating
a whole new vibrant medium for art. Giclees are particularly suited to canvas and are superior to traditional lithography in several ways.
The colors are brighter, last longer, and are so high-resolution
that they are virtually continuous tone, rather than tiny
dots. The range, or "gamut" of color for giclees is far
beyond that of lithography, and details are crisper. Giclees
use inkjet technology, but far more sophisticated than your
desktop printer. The process employs six colors--light cyan,
cyan, light magenta, magenta, yellow and black--of lightfast,
pigmented inks and finer, more numerous, and replaceable
printheads resulting in a wider color gamut, and the ability
to use various media to print on. The ink is sprayed onto
the page, actually mixing the color on the page to create
true shades and hues.
Football Match Programmes: Match programmes have been produced
for pretty much every football game ever played - including
friendlies. Thus, the programme for the friendly match played
between Everton and Glasgow Celtic at Anfield on April 5
1890 recently sold for £2,000 at auction. Incredibly, the
programme from Everton's 1889 friendly with Newton Heath
at Anfield is valued at £10,000+. The reason? Well, shortly
afterwards Newton Heath changed their name to Manchester
United and the rest is soccer history. Even programmes for
Manchester United's F.A. Cup Final appearances in the late
50s are today valued at £40 - more than double what they
have been making in recent years. Football programmes normally
include photographs, advertisements, editorial comment and
plenty of statistical information and make a nice souvenir
of a great day out. Some football enthusiasts focus on collecting
the programmes of a particular team - both home and away
matches - or cup competition - F.A. Cup or European cup
finals. Serious collectors of football programmes usually
avoid the habit of writing the match result or goalscorers
on the printed team sheet - this practice can devalue programmes
substantially. Early programmes tend to be the scarcest
and worth the most money. Unsurprisingly, Manchester United
are easily the most collected team nowadays - with armchair
fans from Torquay to Tokyo. Another collected team are the
London giants, Arsenal. A programme for Arsenal's away fixture
at Aston Villa in the 1907/08 season retails at around £250. New programmes can usually be bought on subscription
from the clubs themselves. |
