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
Trials on the Midland Railway: A Historic Moment in Transportation History (May 1848) This evocative photograph print, dated 1896, captures a pivotal moment in the history of railway transportation. The image depicts two early locomotives, Jenny Lind and Jenny Sharp, undergoing trials on the Midland Railway in May 1848. The Midland Railway Company, a leading figure in the British railway industry, was pushing the boundaries of steam-powered locomotive technology, and these trials represented a significant step forward in the development of more efficient and powerful engines. The locomotives, named after two famous opera singers of the time, were designed by the renowned engineer Daniel Adamson. Jenny Lind, the smaller of the two, was a 2-2-2 locomotive, while Jenny Sharp was a larger 0-6-0 model. The trials were conducted to test the capabilities of these engines, particularly their ability to haul heavy loads and traverse steep gradients. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, with the steam-belching engines and their support crew in period attire. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of onlookers, who gathered to witness this pioneering moment in transportation history. The steam-powered locomotives would soon revolutionize the way goods and people were transported, paving the way for the extensive railway networks that would come to define the industrial age. This print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and innovators who shaped the transportation landscape of the past. It is a testament to the power of human curiosity and the relentless pursuit of progress.
