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
Full Time Footplate: A Glimpse into the Lives of LNER Rail Workers in 1927". This print transports us back to a significant moment in history, capturing the daily grind of two dedicated railway workers. Taken on January 3rd, 1927, at the Stratford Repair Shop in Europe, this landscape image showcases a male LNER driver and fireman hard at work inside their locomotive's cab. The photograph tells a tale of resilience during challenging times. After enduring a period of staff working short time due to financial constraints, these determined individuals continue to provide essential transportation services despite the odds stacked against them. Their commitment to their occupation is palpable as they navigate through their duties with unwavering focus. The monochromatic format adds an air of nostalgia and authenticity to this archival piece. The stark contrast between light and shadow highlights every detail within the frame - from worn-out uniforms to weathered hands gripping levers with precision. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate the symbiotic relationship between these two men. Their teamwork is evident as they collaborate seamlessly while driving forward one of Britain's iconic trains. H. F Davis skillfully captures not only an era but also conveys the spirit and determination that fueled these rail workers' dedication. This remarkable print serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, ordinary individuals can achieve extraordinary feats when united by purpose and passion for their craft.
