Caledonian Loco Locomotive Locomotives Scot Land 4 2 2
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 stunning photograph captures the power and grace of Locomotive No. 123, a 2-2-2 express steam locomotive, as it chugs its way through the Scottish countryside. The Caledonian Railway's No. 123, also known as the "Duke of Fife," was one of the most famous and iconic locomotives in Scottish railway history. Built in 1896 by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow, this locomotive was a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. Its distinctive design, with two leading and two trailing wheels, allowed it to provide superior traction and stability on the winding and hilly railway lines of Scotland. The photograph showcases the locomotive in its element, billowing clouds of steam as it climbs a steep incline, leaving a trail of condensation on the cool morning air. The rugged terrain and sparse vegetation of the Scottish landscape provide a stark yet beautiful backdrop to the scene, highlighting the raw power and determination of the engine as it conquers the challenges of the railway. The 2-2-2 express locomotive was a symbol of the golden age of rail travel, when steam engines ruled the rails and transportation was an adventure. This photograph is a testament to that era, capturing the romance and excitement of a bygone era in transportation history. The intricate details of the locomotive's design, from the intricately patterned boiler to the polished metal and gleaming brass fittings, are on full display in this photograph. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the lives of the railway workers who maintained and operated these magnificent machines, adding to the historical and cultural significance of the image.
