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 Southern British Railways for a leisurely journey to France via Southampton and Le Havre. The roaring twenties may have passed, but the allure of European adventure remains as strong as ever. In this tranquil scene, we see the SS Normannia, a luxurious ocean liner, docked at Southampton's waterfront, ready to embark on its transatlantic voyage. The Normannia, with its elegant curves and imposing size, is a testament to the golden age of ocean travel. But the journey doesn't end there. For those seeking a more land-based experience, Southern British Railways offers a seamless connection to Le Havre, France. The train, with its gleaming steam engine and polished carriages, cuts an impressive figure as it pulls into the station. The promise of a relaxing journey is evident in the advertisement's tagline: "A modicum of relaxation in the midst of business is always pleasant..." The 1950s were a time of optimism and adventure, and Southern British Railways understood the desire for a break from the daily grind. The railways' commitment to providing a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience is evident in this advertisement. With the SS Normannia and the Southern British Railways, travelers could enjoy the best of both worlds - the thrill of the sea and the convenience of the rails. So, pack your bags, sit back, and let Southern British Railways take you on a leisurely journey to France.
