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
This print from Historic England takes us back in time to the 1920s, capturing a moment of railway renewal work on the South Devon and Tavistock Railway. The image showcases a fascinating scene where skilled engineers are diligently carrying out maintenance on the girders and rail bearers using a mobile crane. The location is believed to be somewhere near Crabtree or Marsh Mills, just east of Plymouth. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at the dedication and precision required for such intricate engineering tasks during that era. The black and white composition adds an air of nostalgia, emphasizing the historical significance of this photograph. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and progress made in railway construction during those early years. Reproduced from an original print, this image offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of our transportation history. It reminds us of how far we have come since then while also acknowledging the foundations laid by these dedicated workers. As we admire this remarkable piece captured almost a century ago, let's take a moment to appreciate their efforts and reflect on how they paved the way for modern-day railways that connect communities across vast distances today.
