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 showcases the remarkable transformation of the line OP04913, as a majestic Star Class steam locomotive gracefully passes along a section of the South Devon and Tavistock Railway. The view captured in this image possibly gazes southwest, revealing a picturesque stretch of track located east of Plymouth near Crabtree or Marsh Mills, nestled alongside the serene River Plym. Part of Historic England's Early Photographic Print Collection, this photograph offers a glimpse into an era when railway engineering was at its zenith. The date remains uncertain, adding an air of mystery to this historical snapshot. The sheer power and elegance exuded by the steam locomotive is truly awe-inspiring. Its billowing plumes create a mesmerizing contrast against the tranquil backdrop of lush greenery and flowing water. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation in transportation during that time. As we admire this piece from Historic England Archive, it is impossible not to marvel at the intricate craftsmanship involved in creating such magnificent machinery. From every meticulously designed carriage to each precisely engineered component, this photograph encapsulates both artistry and functionality. Let us take a moment to appreciate how far we have come since then while acknowledging our indebtedness to those who paved the way for modern railway systems worldwide.
