31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 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 31x27 inches (787x685mm). 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 by John Gay takes us back in time to the bustling Brighton Station in East Sussex. The elevated interior view showcases a mesmerizing sight of a curving row of columns gracefully supporting the magnificent roof of the train shed. It's as if these architectural marvels are reaching for the sky, creating an awe-inspiring atmosphere within this historic transportation hub. As we delve deeper into the image, our eyes are drawn to a train patiently waiting at the platform beneath. Its presence adds an element of movement and anticipation, reminding us that this station was once a vibrant gateway connecting people from near and far. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time between 1967 and 1985 - an era when trains were still at their peak as one of society's primary modes of travel. This visual treasure allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of engineering design and its integration with everyday life.
