This is a rare opportunity to own the one-off aluminium plates used to print Rachael Clegg’s Thrill of it Book. The plates form part of the lithographic printing process whereby each page of the book is printed with four colours, with each colour corresponding with an individual plate in cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK). These are totally unique, complete with printing ink and marks of the printing process. There is only one cyan, one yellow, one magenta and one black plate per image (1/1) and are beautiful objects in their own right. The frame is a chunky solid wood open grain frame, handmade in Sheffield and all aluminium plates come with the story text and a copy of Rachael Clegg’s The Thrill of It photobook (RRP £105). Outside frame measurement: 410mm x 410mm.

Windy Corner is from Rachael Clegg’s Milestones series in which every single image illustrates an event from the history of the Isle of Man TT Races.

The story:

The battle for the 1967 Senior TT title was a furious one. Mike Hailwood, on his RC181 and Giacomo Agostini, on his MV-500 swapped leads throughout the race until Agostini’s chain broke at Windy Corner. Mike the Bike raced to his third TT victory of that week.
