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 aboard the Uganda Railway: Your Ticket to Adventure in Africa, 1908! This vintage poster invites travelers to embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart of Africa. Depicting a scenic stretch of the Uganda Railway track from Nairobi to Mombasa in Kenya, the poster transports us back in time to the early 1900s. The Uganda Railway, also known as the Lunatic Express, was a British engineering marvel that connected the port city of Mombasa on the Indian Ocean with the inland capital of Kampala, Uganda. Construction began in 1896 and was completed in 1908, spanning a total length of 1,288 kilometers (800 miles). The poster's vibrant colors and intricate details capture the essence of the African landscape, with lush greenery, winding rivers, and majestic mountains in the background. The railway track cuts through the landscape like a silver ribbon, symbolizing the connection between different cultures and communities. The poster's text, written in bold, inviting letters, reads, "272 Miles from Nairobi to Mombasa by the Uganda Railway." The promise of adventure and discovery is palpable, as the poster beckons travelers to explore the wonders of Africa and experience the thrill of a bygone era. This poster is a testament to the power of transportation to bring people closer together and broaden horizons. It invites us to imagine the stories of the intrepid travelers who once journeyed along this historic railway, and to dream of our own adventures in far-off lands. Join us on this journey through time and discover the magic of the Uganda Railway, where every mile is a new adventure waiting to unfold.
