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 showcases 'Experiment', the very first passenger railway carriage built by the ingenious George Stephenson for the Stockton and Darlington line in 1825. This revolutionary mode of transportation marked a significant milestone in the history of rail travel, forever changing the way people moved from one place to another.
Passengers would enter this historic carriage from the back, embarking on a journey that would not only transport them physically but also symbolize progress and innovation. As they sat inside, they were part of an experiment that would pave the way for future advancements in railway technology.
The image captures a moment frozen in time, where steam engines roared to life and iron wheels rolled along steel tracks. It is a testament to human ingenuity and determination to push boundaries and explore new horizons.
Through Samuel Smiles' lens in "The Story of the Life of George Stephenson," we are transported back to a time when railways were more than just means of transport – they were symbols of industrial revolution and modernization.
As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, let us remember the visionaries like George Stephenson who dared to dream big and change the world with their inventions. The legacy of 'Experiment' lives on as a reminder that with courage and innovation, anything is possible.
