Cabs Loco Locomotive Locomotives
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
Step into the bygone era of steam-powered transportation with this image of the Cab of the Knight of the Thistle, a legendary locomotive that once graced the rails of the Great Western Railway (GWR) in the United Kingdom. This vintage photograph, taken from an unidentified source and available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the intricacies of steam locomotive engineering and the daily workings of the railway system during the early 20th century. The Knight of the Thistle, a Class 2800 Tank Engine, was named in honor of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, an Order of Chivalry founded by King James VII of Scotland in 1687. This locomotive, with its distinctive green livery and ornate decorations, would have been a familiar sight on the Western Region lines of the GWR. The cab of the Knight of the Thistle is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the railway engineers of the time. The intricate details of the control panel, the large firebox, and the expansive chimney are all evidence of the complex machinery that powered these steam locomotives. The image also reveals the cramped conditions that train drivers and firemen endured as they worked long hours to keep the trains running on time. This photograph is not only a fascinating historical record of a bygone era but also a visual feast for railway enthusiasts and anyone with an appreciation for the engineering marvels of the past. The Knight of the Thistle, with its proud history and iconic design, continues to captivate the imagination and inspire awe in all who behold it.
