23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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
The Express Train, a captivating print engraved by Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives, showcases the awe-inspiring power of steam locomotives in the 19th century. This vibrant colour lithograph transports us back to a time when railways revolutionized transportation and connected distant corners of the world. The image depicts a magnificent train hurtling down the tracks with billowing clouds of smoke trailing behind. The intricate detailing captures every nuance of this technological marvel - from the gleaming metal surfaces to the rhythmic motion of its wheels. It is as if we can almost hear the thunderous roar and feel the ground tremble beneath our feet. Currier and Ives were renowned for their ability to evoke emotion through their artwork, and this piece is no exception. The express train symbolizes progress, adventure, and human ingenuity all at once. It represents an era when railroads opened up new possibilities for trade, travel, and communication. This particular print now resides in Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT – a testament to its historical significance. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days of steam-powered locomotion. Yet there remains something timeless about this scene; it continues to inspire wonderment at what humankind can achieve when driven by innovation.
