FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in the rich railway history of Yorkshire, England. The image features British Railways Class 9F 2-10-1 locomotive, numbered 92220, proudly named "Evening Star," as it chugs its way along the picturesque Keighley Worth Valley Railway near Bradford. The 1960s setting is palpable, with the steam train's billowing smoke contrasting against the crisp autumnal foliage and the vibrant red and orange hues of the leaves. The Class 9F locomotives, introduced in 1957, were the last steam engines built for British Railways. They were designed to be powerful and versatile, capable of hauling heavy freight trains over long distances. The "Evening Star," with its distinctive star insignia, was one of these mighty engines, and its presence on the Keighley Worth Valley Railway adds to the line's reputation as a preserved railway that celebrates the golden age of steam. The Keighley Worth Valley Railway, which runs from Keighley to Oxenhope, is a heritage railway that offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience the romance and nostalgia of steam train travel. The line, which opened in 1867, was once a vital part of the industrial heartland of Yorkshire, transporting coal, limestone, and textiles from the local mines and mills. Today, it is a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world who appreciate the historical significance of steam trains and the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of steam trains and the rich railway history of Yorkshire. It transports us back in time to an era when steam engines ruled the rails and the romance of train travel was at its height.
