Compartment Familys Journey Newly Sleeping Viis 1902
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 photograph offers a rare glimpse into the luxurious sleeping compartment of King Edward VII's newly built private train, which made its historic debut on the London and North Western Railway in December 1902. The royal train, a testament to the opulence and technological advancements of the early 20th century, was the personal conveyance of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra during their journeys. The image showcases the king's sleeping compartment, meticulously designed for his comfort and convenience. The richly upholstered seats, adorned with plush fabrics and ornate woodwork, create an atmosphere of elegance and refinement. The large window, framed by heavy velvet drapes, offers a breathtaking view of the passing countryside, allowing the monarch to enjoy the scenic beauty of his realm from the comfort of his private quarters. The train, which was first used on the royal family's journey to Gopsall, was a significant import for the railway industry. It showcased the latest advancements in railway technology and design, setting a new standard for luxury train travel. The sleeping compartment, with its private facilities and comfortable accommodations, was a far cry from the cramped and utilitarian conditions of the average train carriage. This photograph, taken in 1902, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of opulence, elegance, and innovation. The sleeping compartment, with its rich history and intriguing stories, stands as a testament to the grandeur of the British monarchy and the ingenuity of the railway industry during the early 20th century.
